Back to London

Walking past the BL, I see Newton. Its not a Newton I recognise though - he usually had long curled hair and a stern look. Maybe this was him on his day off.

He lived a pretty full life, working out the laws of optics, gravity, motion and inventing calculus because he needed it to solve another problem. He also looked after the royal mint, spent ages working out when the world will end (2060, or possibly 2032). He also tried to write Robert Hook out of history - so I suspect he was a little on the weird side overall - but a genius of the first order none the less.
