Secrets of Isaac Newton
He disappointed his mother by not pursuing her dream of becoming a farmer. His relationships with others were so complex that he ended up living a solitary life. However, his passion for alchemy led him to become one of the most renowned scientists in history. Yes, I'm referring to Isaac Newton, the famous English physicist and mathematician who revolutionized modern physics. Newton was born in the small village of Wol Thorp in 1643. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to meet his father, who passed away before his birth. Around the same time, another brilliant scientist, Galileo Galilei, took his last breath in Florence. Little did Newton know that he would later build upon Galileo's ideas and make them legendary. From the very beginning, Isaac faced challenges as he was born prematurely and had to fight for survival. He was so tiny that he could fit inside a large mug. His mother remarried shortly after his birth, and he ended up living with his grandmother, separated from his mother for nine years. This solitude had a lasting impact on his life. Years later, when reflecting on his past, he even confessed to having fiery thoughts about his stepfather, such as wanting to burn down the house. On the bright side, his isolation sparked his interest in books on mechanics and technology. He even developed a highly accurate system of sundials. Recognizing his intellectual potential, his uncle and school headmaster encouraged him to pursue his studies instead of tending to the family property. Despite his mother's initial resistance, she eventually gave in, and Newton returned to grammar school. At the age of 18, he was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge. To support his education, Newton worked and studied, waiting tables and taking care of other students' rooms.
