66
/ 100
Mostly True
Sir Isaac Newton invented Calculus, the Binomial theorem, and discovered the universal law of gravity by age 25. He also died a virgin.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (66/100).
The claims about Isaac Newton's achievements by age 25 are mostly accurate. Newton invented calculus and the binomial theorem around the age of 23-24. However, he formulated the law of universal gravitation later, at age 44. The claim about Newton dying a virgin is widely believed but not definitively proven.
