牛顿,这个出生于英国兰林肯郡小镇的遗腹子,他年少聪慧,很早就成为剑桥的教授,以非凡的智慧在数学、物理学、光学等领域做出了重大发现。他去世之时英国政府为他举行了隆重的国葬,葬于先贤祠,这样的待遇在当时的科学家中没有几人获得。 Newton, born in the small town of Lincoln County, England, was a young man who had become a professor of Cambridge and had made remarkable discoveries in mathematics, physics and optics with extraordinary wisdom. When he died, the British government held a grand state funeral for him and was buried in the Pantheon. Such treatment was not available to a few scientists at that time.
