Newton QQC

Quote: "In his scientific efforts Newton somewhat resembled a live volcano, with long periods of quiescence punctuated from time to time by massive eruptions of almost superhuman eruption." Comment: I picked this particular quote because it was fascinating to read how people saw him as this incredible human being who changed the world of science and identifying his discoveries to be the start of modern science back in the day. He was described as a monumental man and considered to be one of the best made human beings god had created. I absolutely agree with the way they described him to be as an active volcano because he was constantly questioning why everything was the way it was, which then brought him to discover the many theories he has for things such as his discovery for the law of gravity. His mind was outstanding and I think that anybody will understand how his mind worked, or what he thought. Connection: The only connection that I have with this quote is how I see the world, I constantly wonder about the things that happen and why they happen, or certain things that can only work a certain way, so feel a connection to the way Newton felt when he first started wondering about the things around him. Question: How create the equation for gravity? Was he ever wrong about something?
