Sir Isaac Newton possessed one of the keenest scientific intellects of his time. In spite of his brilliance, he was a humble person who always tried to depreciate his contributions to science, preferring instead to honor the scientists who had preceded him. He once remarked, "If I have seen further [than others], it is by standing upon the shoulders of Giants."
Newton is famous primarily for his laws describing motion. When the plague forced Cambridge University to shut down temporarily, Newton left the university and stayed for a time at his mother's farm. It was during this period that Newton formulated the three laws of motion, which reduce nearly all the motion we observe to concepts that are relatively simple, considering the complexities of physics. While there is no evidence to support the popular, but no doubt apocryphal, story that Newton discovered gravity when an apple fell on his head as he sat under a tree, it seems certain that observing falling objects caused Newton to think about the forces at work in the universe.
