Émilie du Châtele, the woman who translated and built upon Newton's works 📰
Émilie du Châtelet (1706 - 1749) was a French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher who made significant contributions to the field of physics during the early 18th century.
She is best known for translating and adding extensive commentary to Isaac Newton's "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica," which remains the standard French version today.
Du Châtelet also developed the concept of kinetic energy, building upon the works of Newton and Leibniz, and argued that the energy of a moving object was proportional to the square of its velocity. Despite facing gender-based challenges, her work had a lasting impact on the development of modern physics.

The end of Hockey Night in Canada is more than just the end of a television show.
Hockey Night in Canada was something uniquely Canadian.
Now it is gone.
A piece of our cultural tapestry now in the dustbin of history.
Hockey Night in Canada goes back much farther than 1952 when it first aired on television.
National hockey on CRBC/CBC began in 1933, and Hockey Night in Canada was first used as the program's name in 1936.
