Biography
Isaac Newton, from the day he was born in 1642 to the day he died in 1727, led a life pursuant of knowledge. His contributions to the scientific community are proof of his intellectual excellence. This excellence, however, was not recognised until Newton left family life and went to school at the King's School in Grantham. It was here that Newton's differences first became apparent. His intellectual differences, of course, made him stand out but it was more the social difficulties, potentially rooted in his excelled intelligence, that began to surface in his early years, that posing a barrier between himself and boys of his age. Newton learned to lead a life on the lonesome from a young age but it was in this solitude that many of Newton's greatest thoughts and ideas were born. Newton nurtured these ideas until they made him into one of the more influential people of his time.
