On Christmas Day 1642, Newton was born in a farm family in the village of Ulsopp in northern England. From here we can draw a very important message. This message is that after the thinking and spiritual world are liberated,

, in fact, children in rural areas can also have a certain space for development. It is no longer like before, birth means an absolute 99% destiny.

. But what should we say about this matter? If we must look at it through a more systematic analysis, then before the liberation of the mind, a farmer's child wanted to achieve very high achievements in a certain field. This kind of

The chance is less than one in a billion, but now it is different, it may be one in a million. In short, the chance is ten times higher than before.

Okay, just now my stupid thinking has gone too far, and back to our topic. In fact, before Newton was born, his father had passed away. In order to survive, his mother remarried Barton, a pastor from a neighboring village, and

Newton himself was left to his elderly grandmother. It is not difficult to see from this that in fact, in this kind of remarriage, it is better for a woman to bring up a girl, but if she brings up a boy, many people still cannot do this.

It is accepted that this situation is still the ideological concept until our modern day.

So we can say that Newton's childhood was very unfortunate, and he did not receive any maternal love or father's love at all. Moreover, this misfortune also shaped Newton's character. He developed a taciturn, shy and very withdrawn character.

.But Newton was very fond of thinking at this time, and he also preferred to do carpentry work.

If we look at Newton throughout his life, his hobbies, interests, and even carpentry work, and even his previous characters, undoubtedly laid a certain foundation for him to become a big man who influenced the world in the future.

.Because the people who can really change the world are those who are different.

When Newton was twelve years old, he came to Jingles Middle School in the English mountain town not far from his home and boarded above Clark's drugstore. He made a water clock out of wooden boxes and glass bottles and controlled it.

time, every day at dawn, the water clock would drip water on his face on time, and then

He wakes up. What this actually means is that Newton is a bit unlike a human being, and his self-discipline is a bit outrageous. In fact, the biggest enemy of strange creatures like us humans is our own self-discipline. In fact, we all have many things.

Understand that as long as you persist, you will definitely achieve something

Yes, but I just can't hold on. Or just like getting up in the morning, tonight we said we would get up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, but after eight o'clock, what does the alarm clock say? Anyway, it may be delayed until nine o'clock

, but ultimately the principle that makes more of us modern people wake up on time.

Because, it is not the so-called self-discipline, but because of poverty! Because I have no money, I have to go to work, and things like going to work are relatively strict. If you are late, you will definitely be fined. This also causes many of our modern people to be able to

Getting up on time has nothing to do with true self-discipline.

Moving on to our topic, Newton's mother was actually related to Newton at this time, and Newton's mother had her own set of outdated ideas, hoping that Newton would become a farmer so that he could support his family. Speaking of

In terms of the thinking of the older generation, in fact, several things have happened to me. For example, when I was learning to practice pen calligraphy, my mother said that I was a psycho and it was absolutely impossible to practice pen calligraphy.

Okay, because my academic performance was a mess at first, and I was even expelled in the first grade of junior high school, but I didn't listen to my mother's advice. In the end, my mother also wanted me to become a farmer, but I also refused,

Finally, I said that I wanted to write a book. My mother also thought that I was crazy again, but no matter what my mother thought at the beginning, and no matter how bad the book I was writing was, I just wrote it anyway.

So I feel that Newton's mother's thinking mode is completely consistent with my mother's thinking mode. I simply don't believe in what achievements Newton can achieve in the future. However, Newton has his own ideas at this time, that is, he does not want to follow his mother's ideas.

suggested, and then became a farmer all his life, so it can be said that he ignored his mother's advice.

When Newton was fourteen years old, he was already full of ideals and kept thinking about various problems. He carved a sun clock on the stone wall of his home and raced against time to study.

Another time, he was running around in a storm to test the wind, and was soaked by the heavy rain. At this time, Newton's mother thought that Newton must be crazy and that there must be some problem with his brain? So she gave up and let Newton

The idea of ​​becoming a farmer, then let him continue studying.

Eventually, as Newton himself grew older, he became more and more interested in reading, meditating, and doing small scientific experiments. In fact, when Newton was in middle school, his academic performance was not very outstanding. On the contrary, it was somewhat unsatisfactory.

He just has a very strong curiosity about natural phenomena, and he records his reading experience by categories. If this were placed in our modern Chinese families, Newton would have been beaten to death long ago. This is a picky study, and our current situation in China

Academic studies require balanced development, so a single score will trap students. But Newton's mother had long lost confidence in Newton, so she didn't care about him.

In addition to Newton's picky character, he also liked to make some ingenious gadgets and small experiments. By 1661, after several years of diligent study, Newton was admitted to Cambridge University and

Obtained the qualification of a reduced-fee student. In fact, this qualification still exists in universities in various countries around the world.

In 1664, Newton became a scholarship recipient and received his bachelor's degree in 1665. At this time, a scholar named Barrow discovered that Newton was a talent and recommended him as a graduate student.

It directly led Newton to the kingdom of natural science. In January 1665, Newton completed his university studies. On the recommendation of Barton, he continued to stay in school to do research. But just half a year later, London

A large-scale Black Death broke out, and Cambridge University temporarily suspended classes. At this point, Newton returned to his hometown.

Between 1665 and 1666, Newton carefully summarized the scientific research methods of his predecessors and applied them. He soon developed the binomial theorem, formulated calculus, and used a prism to combine

He decomposed white light into seven colors of light and determined the refractive index of each color. He also inherited Descartes' idea of ​​applying terrestrial mechanics to celestial phenomena to explore the problem of planetary elliptical orbits. 1667

, Newton returned to Cambridge University and continued to engage in scientific research under the guidance of Professor Barrow. In 1669, Professor Barrow recommended him to serve as the Lucasian Chair Professor of Mathematics. At this time, the 26-year-old Newton served as

This position lasted until the age of fifty-three.

In 1672, he was admitted as a member of the Royal Society of London. In 1687, the epoch-making book "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" was published. This book was based on Newton's three laws of motion and universal gravitation.

The perfect mechanical theoretical system explains all the mechanical phenomena that people can understand in this era, and solves various problems such as planetary motion, falling body motion, oscillator motion, particle motion, sound and waves, the rise and fall of tides, and the shape of the earth's ellipse.

Such a question. In fact, in the next two hundred years, no one added anything essential. It was not until the emergence of quantum theory and relativity in the 20th century that the scope of mechanics expanded.

Although Newton became a famous scientist in Europe when he was young, he was not actually rich in life and spent most of his life in poverty. In 1696, one of his

His classmate Gert became the British Chancellor of the Exchequer and appointed Newton as

Deputy Director of the Mint. After two or three years of hard work, Newton quickly solved the British currency chaos problem and served as Director of the Mint in 1699. After that, his life improved somewhat. His annual salary

It was two thousand pounds, which was ten times what he had paid when he was a professor at Cambridge.

In March 1727, the 80-year-old Newton attended the regular meeting of the Royal Society. This tireless scientist suddenly fell ill and passed away before dawn on March 20. His last words were

:I don’t know about the world

What do people say about me? But I think like this: I am like a child playing on the beach. Sometimes I pick up a few crystal stones, sometimes I pick up a few beautiful shells and rejoice in them. The vast ocean of truth

still displayed in front of you.

Newton's ashes were buried in Westminster Abbey. Westminster Abbey is the place where British monarchs have held coronation ceremonies. Newton was also the first person to be buried here as a scientist.

At this point, we all have a thorough understanding of Newton's life. In fact, this feels a little strange to me, because Newton gives me the feeling that he is really as innocent as a child, and he is not at all for us.

The kind of life dreams that most people are currently pursuing are the so-called extravagance, lust, and debauchery. Anyway, everything is an effort for the first purpose of money.

But Newton is not such a person at all. He is so powerful and his achievements are so terrible, but he is not for money. This makes me feel very strange. This completely subverts my understanding of life dreams.

and even the scope of understanding, because the world currently educates me

The only thing is that having money means having everything. Perhaps this is the biggest difference between Newton and all of us? It is precisely because Newton’s life was just pursuing the truth, so in the end he was also the first scientist to be a scientist.
