Know about the scientist who gave us Gravity

 

Sir Isaac Newton FRS was an English physicist and mathematician who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution.

Newton was a greatest scientist ever. He gave the 3 laws of motion & gravitational force & gravity. He was not good at his childhood. Nobody thinks a man who can think about gravity. So I am presenting you a report of BBC below & please read and share.

A genius with dark secrets

Isaac Newton changed the way we understand the Universe. Revered in his own lifetime, he discovered the laws of gravity and motion and invented calculus. He helped to shape our rational world view.

But Newton’s story is also one of a monstrous ego who believed that he alone was able to understand God’s creation. His private life was far from rational – consumed by petty jealousies, bitter rivalries and a ruthless quest for reputation.

           How Newton’s early years were spent

A lonely boy who hated his stepfather

Newton's childhood home of Woolsthorpe Manor, Lincolnshire.

Newton’s father had died before he was born. When Isaac was three, his mother left him with his grandmother and married a man from a nearby village.

This turbulent start scarred Newton for life. He felt rejected by his family. He hated his stepfather and threatened to burn his house down. At Grantham school, Newton sought solace in books. He was unmoved by literature and poetry but loved mechanics and technology, inventing an elaborate system of sundials which was accurate to the minute. While his mother hoped he would run the family farm, his uncle and his headmaster realised Newton was destined for an intellectual life.
