Isaac Newton In The Alchemist

. These issues appeared many years later as he became an adult. While Newton resided with his grandmother, he became a farmer. He was a field farmer for many years until he attended school at Cambridge University, England. While there, he studied many subjects, while noted his most famous field he participated in is science. Here he developed a passion for learning by reading studies from alchemists such as Descartes and Aristotle. Newton took so much heed to these scholars, that is it stated that “Newton's later insights in celestial mechanics can be traced in part to his alchemical interests” (Hatch). As a devoted hard worker, Isaac Newton contributed many advances to science and alchemy; he was the created of gravity, therefore becoming

As Lord Bryan wrote, he compared the world’s rotation to a “whirl” and stars in the sky as if they were a road (O'Connor, J. J., and E. F. Robertson). Just as Santiago traveled the world to find another side of his personality, Newton had to travel in his studies to open a new side of his knowledge. In the “Alchemist”, the protagonist Santiago started out as a poor man’s child who started his journey with little to no knowledge of what his plans were. He began at his home town and explored to meet many people who would influence him, just as Descartes and Aristotle influenced Isaac Newton. Newton admitted to learn from other larger than him by saying “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants” (Isaac Newton Quotes). Santiago knew he had to get his knowledge from others who knew more than him, just like Isaac Newton, by saying “…every blessing ignored becomes a curse. I don't want anything else in life. But you are forcing me to look at wealth and at horizons that I have never known. Now that I have seen them, and now that I see how immense my possibilities are, I'm going to feel worse than I did before you arrived. Because I know the things I should be able to accomplish, and I don't want to do so” (60). Both Santiago and Isaac Newton knew they need to have prior knowledge about a subject to make additions in the field. Without practicing for a sport, there shall be no way of neing good and continuing because it makes no sense. It’s like driving a car without knowing how to operate a car- the outcome is more likely to be a crash than a
