Fun facts about Issac Newton and Robert Hooke that tell you Newton is an INTJ 1. Newton's finding on the particle theory of light (the first paper Newton submitted to the Royal Society) was challenged and criticized by Hooke as a reviewer/commenter. Newton was furious and spent 4 months to write a paper to disapprove everything Hooke commented in bitter words. Hooke's name was mentioned more than 25 times in this paper. This is the beginning of their conflict. 2. Hooke proposed that light was formed by waves, which led to his first contact with Isaac Newton, who in 1670 developed his own theory of color and argued that light was made up of particles. It is suggested that Newton disproved the wave theory so strongly because of his conflict with Hooke. 3. After Hooke claimed that he had given Newton the notion that led him to the law of universal gravitation, Newton removed most of the references to Hooke from the Principia. 4. After Hooke’s death in 1703, Newton was elected President of the Royal Society. It is said that Newton waited until Hooke had died before becoming more active in the Society. 5. No portrait of Robert Hooke has been preserved. Rumors are that this lack is attributed to Newton’s efforts to erase the figure of his great rival during the Society's move to a new premises.
Biography
Sir Isaac Newton (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727) was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author who was described in his time as a "natural philosopher". He was a key figure in the philosophical revolution known as the Enlightenment. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first published in 1687, laid the foundations of classical mechanics. Newton also made pathbreaking contributions to optics, and he shares credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for developing the infinitesimal calculus.
