You have probably heard of the story of the apple that fell on Newton’s head and caused him to think about gravity. Newton’s period of his life while he was away from Trinity College in his family’s estate is referred to as his “Year of Wonders” because of the amazing breakthroughs and insights he made during that time, which laid the groundwork for modern physics. Newton then withdrew to his childhood home, Woolsthorpe Manor, 60 miles away from Cambridge, and so began what is known as his “Year of Wonders.” In 1665, Newton was at Cambridge University’s Trinity College, having just finished his bachelor’s degree, when the school closed down its doors in response to the plague. The Great Plague devastated the city of London, with around 15% of London’s population losing their lives. It was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which was also the source of the Black Death in the 14th century. The Great Plague of 1665-1666 was an epidemic that started in a London parish called St Giles-in-the-Fields and quickly spread. What some may not know is that he made major breakthroughs in these areas while practicing social distancing during the Great Plague that spread in England in 1665. He is famous for his discoveries in the fields of motion, gravity, optics, and mathematics. Sir Isaac Newton (January 4, 1643-March 31, 1727) was an English physicist and mathematician. However, Isaac Newton proves that time spent in social isolation can lead to great insights. Without our normal routine, it might feel like we are not accomplishing much. As we are practicing social distancing during this time, it is easy to feel restless.
