Leibniz-Newton Effect


the leibniz-newton effect, or lne, signifies when two alike or similar products or ideas are either created or discovered by two different individuals with no clear evidence that guy 1 and guy 2 had any influence on each other.

the term is derived from the fact that gottfried leibniz and isaac newton both discovered calculus, without knowing about each other until after they had both attempted to get their work published.
