When Newton Invoked God | God of the Gaps | Neil deGrasse Tyson

Описание: Neil deGrasse Tyson explains “God of the gaps” using Isaac Newton’s masterpiece, Principia Mathematica.
Newton cracked the laws of motion and gravity, explaining how planets orbit… but then he hit a problem:

If Jupiter keeps tugging on Earth over and over, wouldn’t the orbits slowly destabilize and wreck the solar system? Newton couldn’t see how it stayed stable, even though his equations worked so he concluded God must occasionally step in to “fix” the system.

That’s the classic God of the gaps: placing God at the edge of what we don’t yet understand.
The twist? As science advanced, those “gaps” kept shrinking.
