Remarkable yet bizarre facts about Isaac Newton #shortsfeed #shorts #shortvideo

Newton was into some weird stuff besides his science gig. He was all about alchemy, like the OG chemist. He'd spend loads of time trying to turn regular metals into gold and hunting for that legendary philosopher's stone.

Now, his eating habits? Totally bizarre. The guy chowed down on things like mercury, which is pretty darn toxic. He must've thought it had some magical alchemical mojo.

And get this, Newton hated music. He couldn't stand it, found it too distracting. He even poked a hole in his window to let in just enough light for work, so he didn't have to shut out the sounds of musicians jamming nearby.

But the weirdest of all might be his obsession with the number seven. He thought it held the secrets of the universe and was all mystical and significant. Like, the guy was seven-obsessed.
