Once every year, on December 24, your phone starts to light up. And we know why: It’s your friends telling you Happy Christmas through the means of modern communication methods.
Being a good person, you would like to reciprocate the wishes, but Newton Days only start on 25th! What can you do? Wishing Happy Newton Days already? Feels preliminary. Wishing Happy Christmas? Feels hollow to a non-believer.
But of course, Newton Days would not be the full holiday reason replacement package without a solution to this conundrum. And that’s why we have Newton’s Eve.
Newton’s Eve is the 24th of December, the moment we signal to our friends and loved ones, from the warmth of our homes and fireplaces, transported through air by the results of centuries of science, that we like them and we thank science for not having to travel by foot for thousands of kilometers to tell them one by one individually.
The perfect moment to start to reflect what the marvels of science have brought upon us!
