Discover the hidden side of Sir Isaac Newton in this fascinating exploration of his secret passions for alchemy and theology. While Newton is celebrated for his groundbreaking work in physics and mathematics, he actually spent more time studying chemical transformations and biblical prophecy than developing scientific theories. Dr Sarah Quinn reveals how Newton's alchemical experiments in his Cambridge rooms led him to seek divine forces animating matter, while his extensive theological studies resulted in controversial anti-Trinitarian beliefs and predictions about the world's end in 2060. Learn why Newton kept these pursuits secret, how they actually informed his scientific work, and why his heirs tried to suppress these manuscripts after his death. This episode examines the interconnected worldview of a complex genius who saw alchemy, theology, and physics as complementary paths to understanding God's creation. Featuring insights into Newton's coded writings, his rejection of the Trinity doctrine, and how economist John Maynard Keynes later called him 'the last of the magicians.' Perfect for history enthusiasts, science lovers, and anyone curious about the hidden depths of one of history's greatest minds.
