See? I don't know about you, but I see a big difference. Another difference is one had a giant effect on science and mathematics and the other is an actor. On a more serious note, let's discuss Newton's accomplishments.
So this genius was born January 4, 1643 in Woolsthrope, England. When he was 3 his mom got remarried to some 65 year old man and left him to live with his grandparents. What a wonderful mother! Maybe she was having a mid-life crisis... Anywho! Then the woman pops up when Isaac is like 12 his mom pops up and makes him work on a farm. Personally I didn't think she had the right but I guess he can't change history. Then his smart teacher convinces his mom to let him go to college so bam! He is sent off to college.
Now here is the creepy part. You know that song 'Ring Around the Rosies'? Well that song has a deep dark meaning talking about death due to an untreatable disease (influenza AKA flu). So he sent back after a few years of school to go back home. Cambridge University was officially shut down after he spent 4 years of his life there. Que miracle year!
So he lives in his old house and he claims that an apple helps his discovery by falling on his head. Sure when he gets hit with fruit it's amazing but when I get hit with fruit it's funny. Back to his amazing discovery.
The apple falls on his head and he says 'OMG What if this has something to do with the planets?' (ok well maybe no those exact words). Basically, somewhere in his scattered brain, he connects these two dots and thinks of gravity. That's right ladies and gents, Isaac Newton didn't discover gravity just refined it. So basically he creates a formula for calculating gravity, which will come later in my blog post saga. Then he decides 'Ok well why stop there?'
Isaac then decided to put the laws of motion into our lives. I have a song for this and law of gravity that he created. Here it is! Sorry but you have to do some scrolling... Basically they say:
1. Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it's compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it.
2. Force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.
3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite re-action.
So if this isn't enough he tries to explain light and play God and torture future high school students (me) by making them learn how to calculate areas and curves of lines using calculus. Oh wait, you have no idea what I'm talking about when I say he tried to explain light (and succeeded)? Does this look familiar?
Pink Floyd's iconic symbol? Yeah that's Isaac's contribution to modern music, as if math, science, history, and astrology wasn't enough. And he wrote a book that you can find out more about in the link at the bottom, it was called "the Principia" and contained his greatest discoveries!
So then he was elected President of the Royal Society , a special place where they store geniuses. This happpened every year until his death. He also worked with money at the 'Master of the Royal Mint'. Then he was knighted, earning the whole Sir Isaac Newton title, by Queen Anne. Sadly, he died on March 31, 1727.He was buried in Westminster Abbey, which is a huge honor, because only famous people get buried there.
Ok so he was 84, regardless Isaac Lahey will always look a little better. Of course a werewolf could never as much damage as calculus has done, but its a close second.

All of my information cam from Brain Pop, so make sure to check that out. I know I gave you a lot, but that's not even all of the info so if you want to know more click here! As usual the picture are all CTRL + Click to get to those links.Now if you excuse me, due to my lack of accomplishments and my now bad feeling after writing this, I think I may just go listen to The Summer Set, on a loop because I'm just me. Have an awesome week and I hope you have a great Christmas! xx - G
