Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 in a farmer's family. He didn’t seem to be very clever when he was a child, but he liked reading different kinds of books. At the age of 12, he showed great interest in machines and wondered how they worked.
One day, when Newton was reading a book under an apple tree, an apple fell on his head. Then he began to think about the question carefully. After a long time of study, he discovered the principle of universal gravitation.
However, the great man died on March 30, 1727 in London. People still consider him to be one of the greatest scientists in the world.
