Anecdotes about mathematicians � Sir Isaac Newton (English, 1642 -1726) We all have something within us which helps us, guides us, gives us the conscience to know what is right and wrong. This "something" also gives us knowledge and wisdom. Whenever we cannot think of a solution to a problem we sit still and calm our mind. Very often the answer will come in a moment of intuition. Sir Isaac Newton, after thinking for some time on the effect of gravity, could not solve the problem. So Newton went for a walk to relax and when sitting quietly under an apple tree, saw an apple fall down; in a flash of understanding Newton understood the law of gravity which governs the movement of minute particles as well as the stars and planets. Many great scientific discoveries have been made not during serious thinking or when doing a lot of calculations but while the mind is relaxed. This is when intuition starts.
