20 tips about Newton

1. When Newton was a baby, his body was small enough to fit into a 1-liter mug.

According to his mother, he was so young only because he was born prematurely on December 25, 1642.

2. Isaac Newton's father was also named Isaac Newton.

Little Newton gave the name in honor of his father. His father died 3 months before he was born.

When Newton was 3 years old, his mother, Hannah Ayscough, left him.

In order to live with her new husband, she entrusted Newton to the care of his grandmother.

4) Newton threatens to burn down the house while his mother and stepfather are still inside.

Newton grew up with hatred for his stepfather, Father Barnabas Smith, who had three more children.

Nor did Little Newton and his mother have a very good relationship. He kept it all in his diary.

5) Newton's mother wanted him to become a farmer.

But Newton hated being a farmer. Overall, his country life ended in failure.

His mother also knew that he was not this material, so she promised him to receive a formal education.

6, Newton because of his shy and quiet personality, was bullied at school.

According to the story, he wanted to prove academically that he was better than everyone else by concentrating all his experiences. In the end, he realized this dream.

Between the ages of 7 and 12 and 17, Newton attended King's College in Grantham.

During that time he and William Clarke were roommates, and William sparked Newton's interest in chemistry.

King's College is still in operation, and newtons can still be seen inscribing the name on the edge of the house window.

8) His uncle, Rev William Ayscough, helped him get into Trinity College.

It was Cambridge University in June 1661, and since he was not hugely wealthy, he worked several jobs to pay for his tuition.

What he did most often was to be a maid.

9. In 1664, Newton won a 4-year scholarship to Cambridge University.

This gave him the opportunity to spend part-time thinking about new ideas.

10. The outbreak of the Black Death in 1665 interrupted his studies.

The University of Cambridge was suspended for 2 years, during which time Newton returned to Woolthorp Manor to devote himself to science.

In fact, this period was an extremely prolific period for him. It was also during this period that the apple hit him on the head.

At the age of 11 and 27, he became a professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge.

A year after Newton received his master's degree, Professor Isaac Burrow gave his position to Newton because of his admiration for his writings in mathematics.

12 Newton invented calculus, but he was not a clever investor.

He lost more than £20,000 when he invested in the South Sea Company. That's almost $3 million today.

Because of this unpleasant affair, he forbade anyone to mention the word "south sea" while he was still alive.

13 Newton wrote more about religion and alchemy than he about science.

However, this side of him is not known. It wasn't until the 1960s that his 10-million-word paper was published.

Interestingly, while Newton was still alive, he didn't often talk about his religious views, just wrote them down.

Newton's descendants also kept the secret, fearing that the articles would ruin Newton's reputation and make him a pagan.

14. Why do apples fall to the ground?

Why doesn't the moon, the sun, and all the other stars fall to the ground?

These were the brainstorming that Newton was doing in his head at the time. It may have been these curiosities that paved the way for him to complete the law of universal gravitation.

15 One of Newton's most famous works is The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy.

Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy is a collection of three books in which Newton writes about gravity and many other concepts.

In the book, Newton shares three important laws of motion, namely the "Three Laws of Newton."

16. Newton was a member of the British Parliament.

He didn't contribute much in this position.

Conversely, some historians humorously mention that when Newton was in Parliament, he only complained about the temperature in the room and asked others to close the windows.

17. Newton never married.

Some historians argue that since Cambridge inherited the Catholic university system, administrators would usually advise the school's faculty and students to remain celibate.

As a member of the University of Cambridge and always pursuing science, Newton may not have had time for children, or he just didn't want to be distracted.

18) Newton may have Asperger's syndrome.

After exhaustive research into Newton's diaries and biographies, scientists concluded that Newton had Asperger's syndrome.

Newton's social life was poor. He barely speaks and has anger problems. Sometimes, he is so focused on his work that he even forgets to eat.

19 Newton's class had a low student attendance rate, but he still attended classes as usual.

Sometimes, not a single student comes, but he hardly cancels the course. Newton spent 30 years at Cambridge, but he had little interest in his students or his teaching.

Some historians believe that his students could not understand his lessons. His main content revolves around his own research.

20. Newton died of severe stomach pain at the age of 84.

When he reached the age of 80, he had some digestive problems that forced him to eat strictly. On March 31, 1727, Newton died in his sleep.
