| SIR ISAAC NEWTON |
Sir
Isaac Newton was born in 25
December
1642
Whoolsthorpe,Lincolnshire,
England. He
was the only son of a prosperous local farmer, also named Isaac Newton, who
die three months before he was born. A premature baby born tiny and weak,
Newton was not expected to survive.
He started the school but His
mother pulled him out of school, for her plan was to make him a farmer and have
him tend the farm. Newton failed miserably, as he found farming monotonous.He
was an English physicist and
mathematician who is widely recognised as one of the most influential
scientistics of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution.
Newton's Principia formulated
the laws of motion and universal
gravitation,
which dominated scientists' view of the physical universe for the next three
centuries.
Newton experienced his famous inspiration of gravity with the falling apple. By
the time he reached 80 years of age, Newton was experiencing digestion
problems, and had to drastically change his diet and mobility. Then, in March
1727, Newton experienced severe pain in his abdomen and blacked out, never to
regain consciousness. He died the next day, on March 31, 1727, at the age of
84.
Charles
John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812- 9 June 1970) was an English writer and
social critic. He was well-loved and prolific British author of numerous works
that are now considered classics. His 1843 novel A Christmas Carol, remains
popular and continuous to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre. Dickens’
healt began to deteriorate in the 1860s. In 1858, in response to his increasing
fame, he had begun public readings of his works. These exacted a great physcal
toll on him. An immensely profitable but physically shattering series of
readings in America in 1867-1868 sped his decline. And he collapsed during a
‘’Farewell’’ series in England. On june 9, 1870, Charles Dickens died. He was
buried in Poet’s Corner of Westminster Abbey.
