Sir Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton was a very smart man. But you might not think this when I tell that he did not go to school until he was 12 and always got bullied.
When Newton finished school he went to Trinity College, at the University of Cambridge in 1661. He was awarded Bachelor of the Art Degree in 1665. In 1565 and 1666 the Plague affected England so the students were sent home and the University was closed. Newton discovered the theory of gravity when he was sitting under an apple tree in an orchard. When all the sudden an apple fell of the tree and landed on his head. This led him to think of an idea called gravitation. Newton was able to prove this theory by mathematics which he invented called Fluxions. Newton was worried that someone would still his theory so he kept it a secret for 20 years. He was named fellow of Trinity College in 1669. On the 31st of March in 1727 Newton died in his sleep at the age of 84.
