Newton, Isaac
Isaac Newton (1642-1727), the father of modern physics and
mathematics, was an avowed and dedicated alchemist, mystic,
theologian, and astrologer. He was a bad student and his mother wanted
him to become a farmer. He was admitted to Trinity College at
Cambridge as a "subsizar" - i.e., on condition that he performs
certain domestic services.

The story of the apple is not a legend. It was recounted by Newton
himself when he was old. He said the falling apple made him think
about the movement of the moon around the earth.

Newton's work was so savagely criticized when it was first published
that, fora few years thereafter he ceased publishing altogether.
