Isaac Newton as one of the greatest geniuses in history is recognized worldwide. His discoveries laid the foundation for a series of important discoveries in the modern world.

Hot personality behind closed appearance

Isaac Newton made great contributions to mankind such as the 3 main laws of motion (laws of inertia, force, momentum and reaction), the law of gravitation and his discoveries of optics and astronomy. study and math. Newton's laws helped to find ways to calculate real distances, speeds and weights; laid the foundation for modern inventions, ranging from steam engines to space rockets.

According to some accounts, Newton suffered from bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression - an illness that persisted for most of his life. From an early age, Newton was a closed child, often withdrawn and did not participate in games with his peers. Instead, he spends most of his time tinkering with assembling machines, wheelchairs, building models or other games.

Newton had a short temper, and when he was angry, he couldn't control his behavior. In a rare account of Newton's discovery, he listed a long list of his "sin" or wrongdoings, including threatening to set fire to the house, burning his parents alive, assaulting his younger brother. girls, threatened to kill many people... whenever not satisfied. It was also because of his hot temper that he was unpopular with everyone.

While studying at Cambridge University, Newton also made only one friend. His notes during college show that during this time Newton frequently experienced anxiety, sadness, fear, low self-esteem and even the intention to die. After being selected as a scholar at Cambridge University, Newton continued to fall into a state of flux. He was so excited about studying and researching that he forgot to eat and sleep. However, after each such wave, he often fell into a state of tension, confusion, and strange actions.

During his 30 years at Trinity College, Newton taught only three students, none of whom were able to earn a degree. All soon withdrew when they realized that their instructor was a cold person who never smiled and did not know what a joke was. Newton's expression was always melancholy, thoughtful but could suddenly turn violent, rushing to curse everyone, making everyone scared.

A whole life lived in giant solitude

Later, when he became famous around the world, recognized by everyone for his talent, Newton was still afraid to publish his research for fear of facing criticism and disparagement from scientists. other study. According to many accounts, if it were not for the encouragement and provocation of his friend Edmund Halley, Newton might not have published the most important work of his life - the trilogy of books called Principia, or Principles. mathematical theory of natural philosophy.

Newton also frequently avoided having to cooperate with others. Whenever he had to deal with people, he was often frighteningly quiet. His relationships with other scientists have been described as tyrannical because Newton would refuse to talk to people who dared to disagree or criticize his research. With a short temper and always thinking he was right, he caused trouble, quarreling with friends and enemies.

Historians say that, throughout his life, Newton loved only two people. One of them was a niece named Catherine Barton - who was later hired by him as a housekeeper in London and the other was a Swiss mathematician Fatio de Duillier. It was precisely because Newton was so close to Duillier while being domineering over nearly everyone, plus the fact that the two were unmarried, that some Newton historians doubted the relationship between the two. homosexuality.

When he was severely depressed, Newton used to talk nonsense. He also gradually became obsessed with religion and immersed himself in alchemy. In total, Newton spent about 25 years secretly researching alchemy and paranormal phenomena and writing thousands of pages of documents on the subject. Like many people with bipolar disorder, Newton suffered from severe hallucinations.

In his religious and alchemical records, he said that he was appointed by God to bring truth to the world. Newton's scientific discoveries throughout his life made him an outstanding figure, admired by the world, but it also cost him. In fact, Newton had to endure much pain and suffering because of his mental disorder.

William Blake - Newton's historian once wrote: "Reason and enmity, love and hatred are all necessary to prove the existence of a human being. It is these things that remind us of the existence of a human being. that the great Sir Isaac Newton was also a man."

Not getting married because of childhood obsession

Researchers all agree that Newton's somewhat peculiar childhood was partly responsible for shaping his personality. Newton never saw his father because his father, also named Isaac Newton, died three months before he was born. Born prematurely, when he was born, Newton was as small as a bottle, making everyone think he could not survive. However, Newton still miraculously lived despite extremely weak health.

At the age of 3, Newton lost his mother's caring hand when his mother remarried to a man in the same situation, leaving her young son to his grandparents to take care of. Therefore, during his childhood years, Newton always felt abandoned. In a note now on display at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Newton admits that feeling stuck with him into his 20s.

When Newton was 10 years old, with the death of his stepfather, his mother returned to him with his three half-brothers. However, the gap between mother and child does not seem to be filled, but on the contrary, it is even more distant. Because his mother, Hannah, was originally illiterate. She did not appreciate her son's intelligence and did not want him to pursue an education.

When Newton was 17 years old, while studying at school, Newton was called by his mother to take over the family farm despite his objections. Much later, Newton's uncle - a university student, noticed his great intellect and burning passion for science, so he tried to convince Newton's mother to let him go to university. Because of that, Newton entered school 2 years later than the average age at that time.

Busy for scientific research and childhood obsessions about an incomplete family, lack of love is said to be the reason why Newton did not marry. Even the mathematicians Charles Hutton, the economist John Maynard Keynes and the physicist Carl Sagan in their articles cited the results of the post-mortem autopsy that said the illustrious scientist had not yet died. had sex during his 84-year life.
