Six Degrees Of Separation
Will Smith masquerades as Sidney Poitier’s son, and for a time, stays with a young couple in their apartment above The Roxy Theater in New York City.
Privileged art dealers Flan (Donald Sutherland) and Ouisa (Stockard Channing) are hosting a dinner party when Paul (Will Smith), a blood-soaked young man, arrives on their doorstep. He claims to be a friend of their Ivy League children, and charms his way into the house. But when the couple discover the truth about Paul and his real identity, they kick him out. As the couple trades stories with their friends about Paul, his presence proves surprisingly hard to shake.

1982 — As part of the “No Nukes” movement during the Cold War, the largest political rally in US history takes place when about 750,000 people go to New York’s Central Park for the Rally for Nuclear Disarmament, which features performances by Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, and Gary “U.S.” Bonds.

The rally committee organized the event around the United Nations Special Session on Disarmament in a bid to “call for a freeze and reduction of all nuclear weapons and a transfer of military budgets to human needs.” Not everyone agrees on the method of slowing the nuclear arms race that wages between the US and the USSR, but thousands gather with the shared conviction that something must be done to prevent a potential nuclear holocaust. Protestors from around the globe, wielding signs that read “Glow Spiritually, Not Radioactively” and “End the Arms Race, Not the Human Race,” gather outside of the UN building and begin the peaceful march to Central Park, where a rock concert unfolds on the Great Lawn. Many of the performers are veterans of Musicians United For Safe Energy (MUSE), a group formed in the wake of the Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island nuclear meltdown and the sponsor of several major no-nukes concerts in 1979. Linda Ronstadt begins her six-song set with her cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Tumbling Dice” and closes with a rendition of Chuck Berry’s “Back In The U.S.A..” James Taylor sings his Carole King-penned hit “You’ve Got a Friend” and invites John Hall to join him on his new song, “Children’s Cry.” Bruce Springsteen, who debuted “The River” as part of an anti-nuclear protest, teams with Jackson Browne for “Running On Empty” and “The Promised Land.” The special session wraps up on July 10 with the General Assembly failing to agree on a specific strategy for arms control and disarmament. Democratic representatives hope to use the rally’s historic numbers to influence an overturn of defense budget proposals, but Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger contends it’s all for naught when it comes to legislation. “The fact that a very large number of people turn out for a particular event is certainly something that people notice,” he said. “But I don’t think that anybody rushes back and says, ‘We have to change our policy’ … or something because there’s been a rally.”

Sir Isaac Newton

GRAVITATIONAL PULL / SOLAR POWER 
Newton’s three basic laws of motion
outlined in Principia helped him arrive at his theory of gravity.
Two objects attract each other with a force of gravitational attraction that’s proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
These laws helped explain not only ELLIPTICAL PLANETARY ORBITS, but nearly every other motion in the universe: how the planets are kept in orbit by the pull of the sun’s gravity;
How the moon revolves around Earth
and the moons of Jupiter revolve around it
how comets revolve in elliptical orbits around the sun.
They also allowed him to calculate the mass of each planet,
calculate the flattening of the Earth at the poles and the bulge at the equator,
and how the gravitational pull of the sun and moon create the Earth’s TIDES.

According to Newton, gravity kept the universe balanced, made it work, and brought heaven and Earth together in one great equation.

Issac Newton

1668
Telescope
Newton’s first major public scientific achievement was designing and constructing a reflecting telescope in 1668.
As a professor at Cambridge, Newton was required to deliver an annual course of lectures and chose optics as his initial topic.
He used his telescope to study optics and help prove his theory of light and color.
The Royal Society asked for a demonstration of his reflecting telescope in 1671, and the organization’s interest encouraged Newton to publish his notes on light, optics and color in 1672. These notes were later published as part of Newton’s Opticks: Or, A treatise of the Reflections, Refractions, Inflections and Colours of Light.

Mathmatical Principal of Natural

In 1687, he published his most acclaimed work, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), which has been called the single most influential book on physics.
In 1705, he was knighted by Queen Anne of England, making him Sir Isaac Newton.
