Correction:
@6:59 I referred to mercury as a compound. Mercury is an element, not a compound. Clearly should have paid more attention in chemistry class!

    Who do you think is the created scientist who ever lived? @6:59 I referred to mercury as a toxic compound. Mercury is an element, not a compound. Clearly should have paid more attention in chemistry class!
  • @telljuliet1
    Newton so badass that he had to invent an entire branch of mathematics and physics to help him with his apple problem.
  • @BryTheNiceGuy
    The greatest and most beautiful thing about Newton was his passion. I miss being an undergrad as a math major. I met so many passionate students of math and I saw this in a few of us. Newton not caring that his students didn't show up and giving a lecture to an empty room tells you everything you need to know regarding his love for mathematics and physics. What a beautiful mind.
  • This guy was just amazing. To make one scientific discovery in your life would be a major achievement - he seemed to make one every month. His name literally pops up every where in science.

    Isaac in his 20's : i invented calculus me in my 20's: typing 8x9 in the calculator
  • @JJs_playground
    So glad the school master convinced his mom to stay in school.
  • @LMike2004
    Newton discovered infra-red spectrum and had to explain to his peers that there is such a thing as light that is invisible. Invisible...light. Amazing man.

    As a child, I had a 'How and Why Wonder Book: Scientists'. In it, Sir Issac Newton is described as the 'Greatest Genius of All Times'! Growing up, he was my fav scientist -- Pasteur was close second. Fast forward a few years, I had a 10 hour layover at London (on my way from New York to Mumbai), but they would not give a 1-day pass to travel to London city (bcoz of my passport). I decided to try my luck -- I went to the immigration officer and told him that I am a Mech Engr, and would like to pay my respect to Sir Issac Newton by visiting his tomb at the Westminster Abbey -- I remember telling the officer how Newton was the Father of Mechanics, the inventor of Laws of Motion, etc. The officer took one long look at me, and stamped my passport. I promptly took a bus to Westminster Abbey and visited the tomb. I had one of my most cherished wish come true! And as I looked around, I was astonished to find so many other greats buried there!

    "I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people." -Sir Isaac Newton
  • Just think about it I can't even solve calculus problems in my math book even when I have access to solutions. And he invented it.
  • His studies and achievements put an unforgettable mark on science history. His name stands on the science hall of fame list among many other remarkable scientists. Was one of the greatest scholars who ever lived.
  • Imagine not going to class when Sir Isaac Newton himself is teaching you. Sed
  • @tufail1823
    Imagine how far we would be today if education was this widespread in those times. I wonder how many Newtons, Galileos, Aristotles and Ibn Sinas we lost
  • @a_bush
    apple: bonk bonk: I'm about'ta start this man's whole career.
  • @defaultuser9423
    He is truly one of the greatest individuals who ever lived.
  • @duthebestlion
    Sir Issac Newton is my favorite scientist. He said gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion. The father of mechanics told us that there is a Creator of our mysterious and stunning universe.
  • @gaganthakur3924
    "I am a man of science and also a man of faith" This statement inspires me a lot . Thank you Sir Issac Newton for your contributions to the world .
  • @gemseal9627
    newton not only discovered gravity and its mathematical representation and calculus but also has a great influence on ray optics and single handedly influence mechanics in physics . His laws of motions are most important to this day.
