 In the annals of history, few individuals have had as profound an impact on the world as Sir Isaac Newton. His contributions to mathematics and physics laid the groundwork for modern science and continue to influence our understanding of the universe today. As we delve into this remarkable story, we celebrate not just a man but the power of curiosity, determination, and intellect that can change the world.
