Isaac Newton had two nervous breakdownsĪfter engaging in a dispute over aspects of his theory of optics in 1678, Isaac Newton was believed to have suffered nervous breakdown. This confession is still unclear as he didn't give a word as to what apple he was talking about.ģ.

Below is what he wrote in one of his Journals. As curious as he was, Newton embarked on his own detailed study of optics, and he wasn’t above acting as his own guinea pig, probing his eye with a blunt needle known as a bodkin. This was disclosed to Huffpost science byJames Gleick, author of a 2003 biography of Newton, in a telephone interview. In fact, people weren’t even sure whether the eye created or collected light. In Newton’s time, little was known about the properties of light. I wouldn't say that Newton was a careless man as it was obvious that he stuck the needle to his eye socket on purpose.
