Isaac Newton wasn’t just the man who discovered gravity—he was a polymath whose genius spanned physics, mathematics, alchemy, and even crime investigation. In this episode of People Deep Dive, we explore the incredible life of one of history’s greatest thinkers. From his troubled childhood and revolutionary discoveries to his eccentricities and bitter rivalries, Newton’s story is one of brilliance, obsession, and enduring legacy. Learn how his work in Principia redefined science, why his feud over calculus became infamous, and how he pursued counterfeiters as Warden of the Royal Mint. This is the story of the man who shaped our understanding of the universe.
