Books by Sir Isaac Newton mentioned on podcasts
Sir Isaac Newton and his foundational scientific literature were referenced across several podcast programs. On StarTalk Radio, the host and guests discussed 'Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica,' noting that it is Newton's greatest work on the mathematical principles of natural philosophy, and even connecting it to a Spanish white wine named Principia Mathematica. Charles Liu mentioned the Principia on StarTalk Radio as the work where orbital motion was first demonstrated, while a separate discussion linked Newton's text to Arthur Eddington's eclipse observations. On The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, the host reviewed a curious passage in Newton's 'Optics' concerning God's creation of indestructible matter and gold. Lex Fridman Podcast episodes featured mentions of the Principia as well, with one guest asserting that Leibniz reverse-engineered the volume, and another referencing it while discussing the historical development of data-based scientific understanding. Furthermore, on The Rubin Report, a guest cited the Principia Mathematica alongside works by Francis Bacon and John Locke as an influential seventeenth-century text, and Modern Wisdom included a reference to Newton's Principia as a foundational precursor to Laplace's work on celestial mechanics.

Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica
Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica by Sir Isaac Newton is widely regarded as his greatest scientific work, establishing the mathematical principles of natural philosophy and the laws of motion.
Discussed“In honor of Sir Isaac Newton, there is a Spanish wine called Principia Mathematica, which is a bright white wine made with Charello. I'm going to find that wine. Yeah. So, so Principia is his greatest work. Uh, it's the mathematical principles of natural philosophy. Uhhuh. Sensibly abbreviated Principia. Principia. Yeah, but it's Principia Mathematica. If you want to give”
