# 8220; He [Isaac Newton] sought out secluded
areas, where he would sit for hours at a time, not
so much to observe the natural world as to immerse
himself in it" Sir Isaac Newton was a man who

would often sit in the garden for hours on end
just thinking and formulating his ideas about the
universe. In fact, that is the very place where
the ideas of gravity and centrifugal force first
