Newtonian Physics did not work either...Isaac Newton lost money in stock market in the South Sea stock. >Anyone who who thinks quantum physics can be applied to markets is, shall we be kind, barking up an imaginary tree.> Quotations prompted by the South Sea collapse Joseph Spence wrote that Lord Radnor reported to him "When Sir Isaac Newton was asked about the continuance of the rising of South Sea stock… He answered 'that he could not calculate the madness of people'." [4] He is also quoted as stating, "I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men". [5] Newton's niece Catherine Conduitt reported that he "lost twenty thousand pounds. Of this, however, he never much liked to hear…" [6] This was a fortune at the time (equivalent to about £3 million in present day terms [7]), but it is not clear whether it was a monetary loss or an opportunity cost loss.
