All you have to say is Newton Laws, nearly everyone has heard of them, and if not there is no doubt that they haven’t heard of Isaac Newton. Newton is probably most famous for the story of the apple falling from the tree and striking him on the head, which lead to his study on his theory of gravity. Without his theories that he had written down, it is quite likely that gravity would have taken much longer to be understood. Something I did find to be interesting when I was reading was that he was always bullied growing up, which made him always push himself in everything he did. Yet he didn’t publish anything he wrote to avoid religious persecution. Now, had he published his work it is quite likely he would have been constantly annoyed with people’s complaints, objections and opinions, but it perhaps could have also taken him to a different level with other scientists. I must say that I do strongly support his decision of keeping his work private, and I respect that he intermixed his work with religion.
