Throughout trials and tribulations, despite disagreement and controversy, amidst dishonesty and overwhelming lack of support, Isaac Newton remained the man of stubborn but dedicated character; traits that assisted in making him the great intellectual figure that he was and still is to this day. His curiosity and love for learning provided the foundations required to support the questions that he was faced with. They may have been questions that people had been faced with for years prior, maybe they weren't. But he was the one to see them for what they were:questions, waiting to be answered. It was from these curiosities, these questions, that sprouted some of the most valued answers and explanations; theories that have revolutionised the way by which the world is seen. His theories regarding mathematics, motion, optics and gravity are not thoughts that are admired, they are statements that are put into practice. Through his exploration into the unseen, the intangible, he has opened a door to the generations to come: a door of discovery.
