Essay / Sir Isaac Newton - 647
History has brought many influential scientists. Sir Isaac Newton is perhaps the most influential scientist of all time. Without his work and discoveries, humanity could have set back decades, or even decades, in terms of scientific and technological progress. Therefore, due to his enormous impact on humanity, it is important to study the life and achievements of Sir Isaac Newton. Sir Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England, on January 4, 1643. He was underdeveloped and very small as a baby, having been born a few months premature to his mother, Hannah Newton. Since childhood, Newton lived with his grandmother (his father died three months before his birth, and his mother moved away to remarry a successful minister). Newton would fulfill his need for parents with God. As a child, he studied the Bible for days, finding inspiration and developing his spiritual character. In fact, his grandmother decided to enroll him in a school to mentor future ministers. These events would cause Newton to develop a relentless work ethic. Later, after Newton's mother returned to him upon the death of her second husband, Sir Isaac Newton's passion for science and mathematics was ignited. This was due to his mother's plan to take him out of school and become a farmer, a profession he found pitiful due to his many failures. He then returned to school to complete his studies (deciding to glorify and share Jesus through science) and, after his uncle managed to persuade his mother, he enrolled at Cambridge University. As the scientific revolution was in full swing, Sir Isaac Newton became very interested in advanced science and philosophy. In fact, he... middle of paper ... serious illness, leading him to write false and offensive letters of accusations to his friends. Fortunately, Newton recovered and apologized for his rude behavior. Newton, after coming to his senses, returned to his former fame and accomplished many other great feats. But he would fall from grace again when he tried to force astronomer John Flamsteed to publish his notes on star configurations and other discoveries. After losing his position in society and being excluded from the world stage, Sir Isaac Newton developed abdominal problems. In 1727, Newton fell into a state of near-coma sleep, never to wake up again. Sir Isaac Newton died on March 31, 1727. After his death, people began to realize the importance of his discoveries for science and humanity. In conclusion, this is why he will always be remembered as the most influential scientist of all time and a great Christian..
