I haven't watched any video that long but I don't know somehow I never felt bored and completed it, the story of that great genius was highly inspiring, may our future generations will remember and respect him as we do 😊😊

What's incredible about Newton's achievements is that mathematics and physics weren't even his main interests.

When I have said to my class that my rolemodel is Isaac Newton, they all laughed! But anyone must show them this video and tell that Newton might be a correct man for having a rolemodel...
