Why did Newton never get married?
Newton never married, because he devoted everything to science.

Newton's love affair took place in middle school. According to the introduction of History of Mathematics, "Newton lived in the country since childhood and was later sent to King's Middle School in Grantham to study. He lived in the home of william clark, a local pharmacist, fell in love with Anne Stahle, Clark's stepdaughter, and got engaged to her before going to college at the age of 19. Later, due to the focus on scientific research, love cooled down, and Miss stahle married someone else. Since then, there have been no other relationships, and Newton has never been married. "

However, according to the description in "Memoirs of Sir isaac newton's Life" written by Newton's contemporary friend William Stuckley, Stuckley visited Mrs. Vincent, Newton's lover, Miss stahle, after Newton's death, and she said that Newton only made out with her when boarding the plane.

Newton's contribution to science

In mechanics, Newton expounded the conservation principle of momentum and angular momentum and put forward Newton's law of motion. In optics, he invented reflecting telescope, and based on the observation that a prism diverges white light into the visible spectrum, he developed the color theory. He also systematically expressed the law of cooling and studied the speed of sound.

In mathematics, Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz shared the honor of developing calculus. He also proved the generalized binomial theorem and put forward Newton's method to approximate the zero point of function, which contributed to the study of power series.
