Intro text

Sir Isaac Newton was a man of cleverness and solitude. He valued the power of thinking and had a great, acute mind himself. Although he was one of the greatest scientist ever known of his time as well as ours, he spent more time trying to interpret revelations made in the Bible than trying to turn base metals to gold in an alchemy lab. He was dedicated to his work far more than I can comprehend and wouldn't be argued against.   In fact, just by "thinking on it" he came up with a way to describe the characteristice of gravity itself! There is no doubt he left this world impacted for the better, and I can only look up into the sky and say to myself, "Thanks, Isaac Newton, Thanks."   ~ RIP ~

Sir Isaac Newton was born on December 25th, 1642. He died at the age of 84. Newton was born and lived in Lincolnshire, England. He died on March 31st, 1727. Newton died in his sleep in London. Newton’s parents were named Isaac Newton and Hannah Newton. When Isaac Newton’s dad died, the mom remarried and they had children. Their names were Benjamin, Hannah, and Mary. Newton first went to a school in Woolsthorpe, and then later he went to Trinity College in Cambridge University. Isaac Newton didn’t have any friends. He was always focused on his work. He never married anyone. Newton was an achieved mathematician and scientist. He received many awards. He worked as a professor in Cambridge University. He stunned everyone with his great mathematic and scientific achievements. One of Newton’s colleagues was somebody named Robert Hooke. They worked together. When Isaac Newton wasn’t working, he would be trying to figure out new mathematical and scientific concepts. Newton found great satisfaction in when he made a new discovery that turned out to be beneficial. He would find frustration when what he tried didn’t work. He would just keep trying to make it work out. He was a man of great ambition. For most of his life he held residence in Lincolnshire, England. Some of Isaac Newton’s hobbies were the study of astronomy and alchemy. He also liked art and inventing. His main achievement was the law of gravity. People have been thankful that this brilliant mathematician was able to come up with such great discoveries. It happened when Newton was trying to figure out what kept the moon traveling in its orbit around Earth. Since the moon was in motion, he wondered why it didn’t fly off into space in a straight line. Newton later saw an apple fall from a tree and hit the ground.

Thanks Sir Isaac Newton, Scientist, mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and more. I can't say I understood all you had to say, but I knew that they were all matters of serious "gravity".
