Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton was a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author who was described in his time as a natural philosopher.

# Birth and Early Life

In a village named Woolsthorpe, on the 25th December of 1642, Isaac Newton was born.

However, His father, also named Isaac Newton, had passed away a few months before his birth, leaving his mother, Hannah Ayscough Newton, a widow carrying the weight of loss in her heart.

As Isaac grew, he displayed a fascination with how things worked, an insatiable hunger to understand the inner workings of the world around him.

Hhe was sent to school in Grantham to receive a proper education. There, amidst dusty tomes and ink-stained parchment, he discovered the beauty of numbers and the mysteries they held.

# Cambridge Years

In 1661: Newton enrolls at Trinity College, University of Cambridge. His uncle Reverend William Ayscough, who had studied at Cambridge, recommended him to the university. At Cambridge, Newton started as a subsizar, Mathematics became his steadfast companion, and theorems his whispered secrets. The grand tapestry of knowledge unfolded before him.

Then, in the year 1665, The Great Plague spread its grip, casting a somber veil over the bustling streets of England. Isaac returned to his home in Woolsthorpe, he delved into his studies with a fervor that knew no bounds.

In the solitude of his room, he began piecing together a puzzle that would eventually become Newton's law of universal gravitation.

In April 1667, Newton returned to the University of Cambridge, and in October he was elected as a fellow of Trinity. Like a prodigal scholar returning to his academic sanctuary, he immersed himself once more in the world of equations and theories. Mathematics, optics, and mechanics wove a tapestry of understanding that only he could decipher.

In 1668, a glint of innovation sparkled in his eyes. Newton's hands carefully crafted a marvel that would forever shape the field of optics – his first reflecting telescope. With this ingenious invention, he turned his gaze to the heavens, unearthing celestial secrets hidden in the vast expanse of the cosmos.

# Rosicrucianism

His academic work impressed the Lucasian professor Isaac Barrow, who became friend of Newton and made him member of the Royal Society.

Isaac Newton studied private Gnostic papers, Lutheranism and Protestant Christianity. it was then when Newton began exploring alchemy, and Magic.

Newton wrote pages of alchemical manuscripts, to him, alchemy was more than just a curious portal to the secrets of nature, but an integral part of his scientific inquiries. Alchemy's methods resonated with his own quest to unravel the universe's laws.

Amidst the hushed corridors of the Royal Society, Isaac Newton's gaze turned to a ancient scroll, a relic preserved across the ages within the hallowed society. The story of Alexandrian Rose and the Cross and its downfall.

Guided by the cryptic verses of the ancient text, Newton's scholarly mind embarked on a journey of creation. Drawing upon his own studies, the alchemical secrets, and the mysteries of the world, he breathed life into a vision.

Following the Alexandrian Rose and the Cross, Isaac Newton emerged as not only a pioneer of science but also as the visionary creator of Rosicrucianism In winter of 1679. This followed by a brief exchange of letters in 1679–80 with Hooke, who had been appointed to manage the Royal Society's correspondence, and who opened a correspondence intended to elicit contributions from Newton to Royal Society transactions.

After the exchanges with Hooke, Newton worked out a proof that the elliptical form of planetary orbits would result from a centripetal force inversely proportional to the square of the radius vector. Newton communicated his results to Edmond Halley in December 1684.

# Later Years

The Principia was published on 5 July 1687 with encouragement and financial help from Halley. In this work, Newton stated the three universal laws of motion. Together, these laws describe the relationship between any object, the forces acting upon it and the resulting motion, laying the foundation for classical mechanics.

In 1704, Newton published Opticks, in which he expounded his corpuscular theory of light.

In April 1705, Queen Anne knighted Newton during a royal visit to Trinity College, Cambridge. The knighthood was motivated by political considerations connected with the parliamentary election in May 1705, rather than any recognition of Newton's work.

In 1710, Sir Isaac Newton, found 72 of the 78 "species" of cubic curves and categorized them into four types.

"The Rosicrucian" Chronicles: A collection of writings written by Newton like The chronology of ancient kingdoms and Analysis per quantitatum among others were released in 1711 and some after his death.

On March 20, 1726, Isaac Newton takes his last breath. His death gave birth to his legacy. A legacy that shines as brilliantly as the stars he gazed upon, and as enigmatic as the secrets he sought to uncover.
