Such a shame he became a Patriot, he would've made a fine Loyalist

Newton invented gravity.

That's not even a good comparison, you are being far too fair to OP, Franklin was a fine scientist but he was most certainly not the person that discovered electricity.

Well how the fuck can a guy "invent" a natural phenomena that have existed for billions of years before mankind even evolved?

Fucking yanks, the native americans have invented far greater stuff like horses and domesticated animals

I apologise as, obviously, I communicated to you poorly what I was trying to say.

I was agreeing with you that Franklin didn't "invent" electricity because it is a natural phenomenon, so I agree that it is not possible to "invent" electricity any more than it is possible to "invent" gravity.

I was saying that Franklin, while being a fine scientist who experimented with electricity. was NOT even the person that discovered electricity. That happened two centuries earlier.
