The Story of Isaac
March 31, 1727
Newton died on March 31, 1727, in London. He was eighty-four. He had served as Warden of the Royal Mint, President of the Royal Society, and Member of Parliament. He was knighted by Queen Anne. He never married. He had almost no close friends. He spent his final decades in bitter feuds with Leibniz over calculus and with Hooke over optics. The man who explained the motion of every object in the universe could not navigate a single human relationship without conflict.
