The Life of Sir Isaac Newton; with an Account of his Writings.
Not that he was addicted only to natural Religion, for he was thoroughly persuaded of the truth of Revelation; and amongst the variety of Authors, which he was continually reading, the Book he had most constantly in his hands was the Bible. The one proceeds from what he clearly understands, to find out the cause of what he sees: And the other from what he sees to find out the cause, whether plain or obscure
(It was script-edited by Irene Shubik, who also script-edited the 1964 BBC version of "The Caves of Steel", and both produced and script-edited "Out of the Unknown"). The adaptation of "Little Lost Robot" is the only known surviving example of the Out of This World series, the other episodes having been erased by ABC many years ago

And perhaps even fewer people know that before he turned 30, Newton had discovered the laws of motion, the universal law of gravitation, and invented integral and differential calculus. He turned to a longer form of social media -- Facebook -- to express his own reaction to the reactions.He began: Everybody knows that Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25th

Second is the contrast, often shocking, between the actual content of Newton's public writings and the positions attributed to him by others, including most importantly his popularizers
You value interior decoration as much as security and you will spend lots of time hunting refined artistic works that will match your inner feelings: secrete, warm, reassuring but not extravagant. Its element is indefinite; burning (like lava in fusion ?), it rules Scorpio, is in exaltation in Pisces and is in analogy with the sexual organs and excretion
Newton also contributed to the study of power series, generalised the binomial theorem to non-integer exponents, and developed method for approximating the roots of a function. In his life, he held numerous significant positions such as serving as the Lucasian Professor of mathematics, President of the Royal Society and Warden and Master of the Mint
Newton immersed himself in the new mechanical philosophy of Descartes, Gassendi, and Boyle; in the new algebra and analytical geometry of Vieta, Descartes, and Wallis; and in the mechanics and Copernican astronomy of Galileo. After 18 months of sustained effort, Newton published (1687) the Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica (The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), or Principia, as it is universally known
Isaac Newton - Biography, Facts and Pictures
Third law: When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force equal in size and opposite in direction on the first object. Newton proved mathematically that any object moving in space affected by an inverse-square law will follow a path in the shape of one of the conic sections, the shapes which fascinated Archimedes and other Ancient Greek mathematicians
These soften the image of an unsmiling, self-absorbed, Puritan Newton by revealing that as an undergraduate he did get out once in a while, to the tavern and the bowling green, and even occasionally played cards (and lost). The misdemeanours Newton confessed are far less racy than those recorded in Samuel Pepys's much more famous and substantial diary, but they obviously weighed heavily on him, and he adopted the same strategy as Pepys of writing in shorthand as a sort of code (though in both cases it is a relatively simple code to crack)

Less well known is his deep belief in God and his conviction that scientific investigation leads to a greater knowledge of God the Creator of the universe. A number of scientists believed that an inverse square law probably applied, but they had not been able to prove that this would produce the elliptical orbits observed by famous German astronomer Johannes Kepler

Isaac Newton Died A Virgin And 9 Other Facts About The Brilliant, Bizarre Physicist
Notebook belonging to Isaac Newton describing an experiment he conducted on his himself in which he placed a sharp instrument between his eye and the bone in order to induce the sensation of color. Curious, Newton embarked on his own detailed study of optics -- and he wasn't above acting as his own guinea pig, probing his eye with a blunt needle known as a bodkin
Newton biography
An uncle, William Ayscough, decided that Isaac should prepare for entering university and, having persuaded his mother that this was the right thing to do, Isaac was allowed to return to the Free Grammar School in Grantham in 1660 to complete his school education. According to de Moivre, Newton's interest in mathematics began in the autumn of 1663 when he bought an astrology book at a fair in Cambridge and found that he could not understand the mathematics in it
How Did Ben Franklin and Isaac Newton Accomplish the Work of 10 People? Rigorous Note Taking
Franklin credited attempts at Temperance to living to a ripe old age; to Industry and Frugality for earning his fortune; and to Sincerity and Justice for earning the confidence of his country. While few of us will ever approach the heights of productivity reached by Franklin or Newton, we can be inspired by their data-driven approach to producing results, whether in our professional or personal lives
His conclusion: something that appears green, such as grass, looks green because it reflects the green light in the sun and absorbs most of the other colors. He started thinking about why it fell, and finally concluded that the same force which caused the apple to fall also kept the moon in orbit around the earth
In the first years of his Presidency he became involved in a dispute with John Flamsteed in which he and Halley, long ill-disposed toward the Flamsteed, violated the trust of the Royal Astronomer, turning him into a permanent enemy. Newton not only was a dominant figure in this response, but then published an outspoken anonymous review of it in 1715 in the Philosophical Transactions

Ealiest know drawing of 'The Old School' 1806 Isaac was happy to have his mother back, even though he now had to share her with his three young siblings. After the wedding, they left three year old Isaac with his grandmother Ayscough in the house in Woolsthorpe and went to live in Barnabas's house in North Witham
According to Biography.com, the English mathematician and physicist, who was known for his law of gravitation, died on March 31, 1727, at the age of 85
