Listen "Who was Isaac Newton?"
Episode Synopsis
When he died in 1727, Sir Isaac Newton was buried with full honors in Westminster Abbey. His theories stood unchallenged for over 200 years and even today, whenever an engineer launches a rocket or a physicist solves a problem of motion, they are using the foundation laid down by this quiet, prickly genius who changed the world.
