Isaac Newton was one of the most important men in the discovery of modern physics. He was also somewhat wealthy since his father owned animals and land. This is interesting because Robert Boyle was also wealthy along with other famous scientists. I feel that this is because with more wealth comes more opportunities to learn and better yourself. Along as being one of the most important people during the scientific revolution and the discovery of physics, Isaac Newton also was an alchemist. This is odd, since most people would consider alchemy a superstition and pointless to work on. Newton did more work involving alchemy then he did with physics. This is also weird because for having such a great mind and discovering many things it seemed pointless for him to mess around with alchemy. Many scientists and researchers today say that the scientific revolution ended after the death of Newton. It is interesting that Newton was so influential in science considering he was from England. This is because eventually england because the major part of research of new learning and sciences.
