Isaac Newton was born in 1643, Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, England. As a kid Newton loved to have fun and play games. When Newton was 17 and studying at school, his mom took him home to learn the farming trade. Luckily the headmaster convinced Newton’s mom to let him stay. After finishing with high grades he enrolled at Trinity college at the University of Cambridge. He studied there for four years. The school shut down in 1665 because of an outbreak of plague.  After he got his degree he went home to continue studying.

 

After 7 years of researching, Newton discovered gravity and the forces of motion. He published them to the world in 1687. He was 44 years old when he published all of his research. While Newton researched he realized that everything went down rather than up (gravity). This particular fact got Newton very interested in his research. Overall Isaac Newton lived his life to the fullest. Newton solved one of the worlds hardest questions. Without Newton the world would be an even bigger mystery.
