Sinopsis:
Rewritten by Dewi Sulistya Wati. Imagine a child who preferred experimenting with shadows and light over playing outside. That was Isaac Newton—a boy whose curiosity about the universe’s secrets began early. When a great plague struck England, Newton had to leave campus and return to his small village. Yet, who would have thought that during this quarantine, he would discover something that changed the world? From a falling apple, Newton began to wonder: Why does the apple always fall straight down? This simple question led him to uncover the law of gravity, which ultimately explained why the moon orbits the Earth and planets revolve around the sun. But Newton’s journey wasn’t just about gravity. He also invented calculus—a branch of mathematics that underpins nearly all modern technology. Additionally, he unraveled the secrets of light and color, built a more advanced telescope, and reformed England’s financial system while working at the Royal Mint. This book doesn’t just recount his discoveries; it also delves into Newton’s fierce rivalries with other scientists, such as Robert Hooke and Gottfried Leibniz. Filled with gripping conflicts and thought-provoking experiments, Newton’s story teaches us that curiosity can change the world. Are you ready to explore the world through the eyes of a genius?
