The day turns to evening.
Music’s on, and I keep finding myself admiring my favorite polymath.
Admiration? I
suppose that word feels too light for what I can’t stop thinking about.
And of
course, it’s Isaac Newton.
Newton
usually just kept to himself when he was deep in thought. He would spend a lot
of time solving big problems about how things move and fall. This helped him
figure out gravity and motion, and also helped him build something called
calculus, what’s that, huh? A kind of math for when things move, speed up, slow
down, curve, or fall, and you want to know why. Oh boy, I don’t wanna know why (－‸α)
Anyways, I spend a lot of time on my own too, with books and research that
might look boring to others, but I swear, people bore me even more (just
kidding lol).
'I don't know what I may appear to
the world, but to myself, I seem to have been only like a boy, playing on the
sea shore. Diverting myself by now and then finding a smoother pebble or
prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all
undiscovered before me.'
— Isaac Newton
