The Early Life and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton

Born on December 23, 1642, Sir Isaac Newton faced challenges from the start, being a premature baby whose father died shortly after his birth. Raised by his grandparents after his mother's remarriage, Newton overcame early academic struggles to graduate from Cambridge University. A pivotal moment in his scientific journey occurred when an apple fell from a tree, leading him to ponder gravitational forces. He theorized that all matter is attracted to one another, which would later explain the moon's orbit around the Earth.
