"In 1665 an outbreak of the plague caused the university to close, and Newton returned to his home in the country, where he remained until 1667. There, in two years of rustic solitude- from age 22 to 24- his creative genius burst forth in a flood of discoveries unmatched in the history of human thought..."
That's weird I think I would work better at a campus full of people exploring and trying to learn things. Instead of back in the country with not that much to do.
How bored could he have been out there in the country to learn all of these things instead of at a university?
