Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was the greatest scientist that ever lived.

Do you know that Baby Newton Wasn’t Expected to Live?

In 1642, the year that Galileo Galilei died, Isaac Newton was born prematurely on Christmas Day.

His mother even said that Isaac was so small that he could have fit inside a quart mug. (Source: Isaac Newton’s Early Years [wiki])
