The Man of Unparalleled genius “Sir Isaac Newton” and His Tale of Dark Mental State.

Isaac Newton, also known as one of the great scientists to walk this earth whose contribution and inventions to science, bring a revolutionary change in the world. The world knows that Isaac Newton was the first man ever to pioneer the reflective telescope, the man who discovered gravity and invented calculus. But what we didn’t know is that Newton struggled with his mental state for much of his life.

So how come such an intelligent persona suffers from mental challenges. So here we are with the dark secrets of Newton’s mental state that trouble him the rest of his life?

• Newton's mental challenges include phobia, nervous breakdowns, insomnia, paranoia, introverted personality, manic depression, anger issues, avoidant personality disorder, bipolar, autism, violent behavior, great temper, and a series of psychosis.
• Newton’s behavior was full of egoistic, temperamental, sensitive, and a bit violent. He is an introvert and doesn’t like to interact with other peoples. Over his entire life, he had very few close friends who knew and trusted him beyond a doubt.
• He can’t bear criticism and dislike when other mind-like individuals question his theories. He was so afraid of criticism that there was a time when he kept his inventions a top-secret, despite knowing that what he achieved would bring revolution and transform the future.
• Ever since he was a child, he was living in his own world. He always lives with the fear that people will disapprove his theories once they come into the limelight.
• His childhood was also challenging because he didn’t receive his parent’s love and was raised by his maternal grandmother. His father died three months ago before Newton was born. His mother remarried to a man, which is something Newton doesn’t appreciate much. Newton wanted to burn down his stepfather and mother in a house. That’s how newton was exasperated with his mother’s second marriage.
• Newton faced numerous nervous breakdowns during his entire life while confronting his theories against Robert Hooke’s in royal society. For Newton, Robert Hooke seems more like an enemy because he was obsessed with his illogical opinions against his theories.
• He also endured intense political, social uproar and lived a conflicted life.
• Moreover, during his later life, when he was secretly practicing alchemy, he showed mental illness symptoms, including paranoia, insomnia, chronic indigestion, depression, etc., observed by people who were close to him. And later on, he also wrote letters to his friends self-confessing about his mental condition.
• He was so determined to his work that he barely ate and slept and kept continuing working and working.
• He was so messed up that he made a wrong accusation against his friends about embroiling him with women. Guess what? Later, he apologized to his friends for false accusations, stating that he was sick and not slept for five nights.
• He was so confident in his work that he doesn’t like anyone judging his theories and inventions. He just wants people to accept that his inventions are not to be queried, and the rest is history.

This was all about newton mental challenges but wait, here are some more amazing facts of his life that you might never heard of:

• Nobody ever knew the purpose of Newton for practicing alchemy secretly. But whatever he was doing in the field of alchemy. He was aiming for something which is far beyond the human grasp.
• At the age of only 22, while most of us haven’t figured out what we are going to do with our lives, he was the greatest mathematician in the world with his calculus discovery. No one knew except Newton himself.
• He later showed keen interest in theology and wrote more about biblical interpretation than his own discovery about science and maths.
• Newton vows to himself that he will never publish his theories. He wants to keep things low key and wants to move ahead anonymously.
• Newton predicted 2060, the year when the world ends.
• At age 25, he has made remarkable breakthroughs the world has ever noticed in science history.
• Newton was born in 1642, the same year when the great scientist Galileo Galilei died.
• Newton worked seven days a week, 18 hours a day, and had a library consisting of 1600–1800 books.
• John Wiccans were among the few close people who know newton very well. Their social views are nearly similar, and both are really good friends.
• When Newton enrolled in Cambridge, the atmosphere was much more chilling, partying, and frolic. Newton hates students who put pleasure before work. And so Newton and John Wiccans both friends isolated themselves and started working with immense devotion as usual.
• Newton's heretical religious beliefs are still unknown to the world.
• His most significant discovery is calculus which in today’s world is used to analyze stock market, global climate change, etc.
• During the plague, Newton returned home to avoid infection.
• Apart from being a great scientist, Newton was also well-known for his prematurely white hair.
• Newton was given a master of mint title, which was very honorable and high-ranking in status.
• After earning the master of the mint, Newton did great work to stop counterfeiting of currencies. And commissioned fourteen portraits of himself.
• Newton’s study of light started a revolution, and his first telescope was about six inches long, which can be magnified up to 40 times in diameter, according to him.

So, this was it about the great scientist of all time. The man who shaped the future of science forever with his revolutionary inventions and ideas. But remember, apart from being a prominent scientist of all time, he was a human too. But still suffering from mental challenges, he earned his glory and shook the whole world.
