Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton fundamentally altered our understanding of the Universe. He was revered during his lifetime for discovering gravity and motion principles and inventing calculus. He aided in the formation of our logical worldview.

However, Isaac Newton's biography was one of a monster ego obsessed with the notion that he indeed was capable of comprehending God's creation. His private life was everything from reasonable — driven by petty jealousies, vicious rivalries, and a relentless pursuit of fame.

Newton died at the age of 84 and was buried at Westminster Abbey with full military honors. He was a new breed of national hero as a respected natural philosopher. Newton established the groundwork for the modern scientific era. His physical laws and theory of gravity serve as the foundation for a large portion of current physics and engineering. Nonetheless, he felt he had been sent to Earth to interpret God's message via study of both the Bible and the books of nature. For him, religion and mathematics were integral parts of a larger attempt to deduce the world's one system.
