See here for the voting procedure, and background.

I. Newton, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica. 1687 Newton's Principia. Yeah, it counts as a paper....them's the rules. The entry that is going in as the clear favourite. Is it a bit cocky? Too overconfident? We shall see. Scans of the covers, etc, here. Link to Chandrasekhar's digest version here. Make one comment, which will be your vote. (Any other comments from you on this thread will be deleted.) Feel free to tell the world what this paper means to you.... and why you voted for it over the others..... Or you can just make a comment that registers your vote, making whatever noise you want! Voting ends 9:00pm, Jan 16th Pacific Standard Time. -cvj
