I see far because I stand on the shoulders of giants.

This is not only Newton's famous saying, but also the motto of many people, but you know, this sentence was not chicken soup at first, but a poisonous word at that time.

Sir isaac newton (January 4, 1643-March 31, 1727), president of the Royal Society, a famous British physicist, was an encyclopedic "all-rounder" and wrote Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy and Optics.

1. Science and theology

Newton lived for 8 years, but he spent 4 years in scientific research, and for the other 4 years he was addicted to theology. He used many "scientific phenomena" to prove the existence of God, and even when studying how old the earth is, he actually used the Bible to calculate 6 years. With such a sharp contrast, it is difficult for people to associate these things with this scientific giant.

2. The only regret

Newton made outstanding contributions to science all his life. He was the originator of modern science. He opened up a new era of marching into science, but he lost the opportunity to get married in vain because he was ashamed to confess to the girl, and then he never married and had no children for life, so there were no descendants.
