6. He wasn't expected to survive as a child. He was born quite premature "“
an estimated 11 to 15 weeks early. His mother said he could fit in a quart-
sized cup upon birth.
That apple thing? Never happened. At least, not the way the legend goes.
The story you probably know is that Mr. Newton was sitting under a tree
contemplating life when an apple struck him on the head, simultaneously
making a light bulb about gravity go off. The real story according to the man
himself is that Newton was merely looking out the window when he
happened to see the fruit drop. Even then, some Newton scholars think the
story involving the apple was entirely made up.
Despite being born on January 4, he was born on Christmas Day. I know,
confusing. At the time of his birth, the Gregorian calendar hadn't been
adopted by England yet (it took them until 1752, and Newton was born in
1643). Records indicate that Isaac was born on Christmas and baptized on
NewYear's Day. When the Gregorian calendar was finally adopted by
England, it needed adjusted by 11 days, making January 4 Isaac's recognized
birthday.
