Isaac Newton was not a pleasant man. His relations with other academics were notorious, with most of his later life spent embroiled in heated disputes. Following publication of Principia Mathematica--surely the most influential book ever written in physics--Newton had risen rapidly into public prominence. He was appointed president of the Royal Society and became the first scientist ever to be knighted.
Newton soon clashed with the Astronomer Royal, John Flamsteed, who had earlier provided Newton with much needed data for Principia, but was now withholding information that Newton wanted. Newton would not take no for an answer; he had himself appointed to the governing body of the Royal Observatory and then tried to force immediate publication of the data.

Black death that drove Newton from his college and into a momentous discovery, (1) England in 1665. Astronomical records of the time show that (2) was a year of intense sun-spot activity, and studies of annual tree (3) , which are wider when the sun is disturbed (4) that the terrible plague of 1348 was (5) accompanied by an active sun.
This sounds incredible, (6) we now have evidence that the sun has a direct effect on some of our body (7) . Over 120 ,000 tests made on people in a Black Sea (8) to measure the number of lymphocytes in their blood. These small cells normally (9) between 20 and 25 percent of man’s white blood cells, but in years of great solar activity this (10) decreases. There was a biff drop during the sunspot years of 1986 and 1987, and number of people (11) from diseases caused by a lymphocyte deficiency (12) doubled during the tremendous solar explosion of Februa
