This document provides biographical information about Isaac Newton and Richard Feynman, two pioneering scientists. Newton was born in 1642 in Lincolnshire, England and made fundamental contributions to calculus, astronomy, and optics. He discovered the laws of motion and universal gravitation. Feynman was born in 1918 in New York and helped design the first nuclear bomb during World War 2. He later invented Feynman diagrams and made advances in quantum electrodynamics. The document contrasts their personalities, with Newton described as solitary and Feynman described as social, and highlights some of their major scientific achievements that shaped modern physics.
