Sir Isaac Newton's Grave

Sir Isaac Newton's grave is located in Westminster Abbey in London, one of the most prestigious burial sites in the world. A fun fact about Newton's grave is that it is not only a resting place for the famed physicist and mathematician, but it also features a striking monument that includes a large marble statue of Newton reclining with a prism and a scroll, symbolizing his contributions to science. The Latin inscription on his tomb reads, "Here is buried Isaac Newton, Knight, who by a strength of mind almost divine, and mathematical principles peculiarly his own, explored the course and figures of the planets, the paths of the comets, the tides of the sea, the dissimilarities in rays of light, and, what no other scholar had previously imagined, the properties of the colors thus produced.

Diligent, wise, and faithful in his expositions of nature, antiquity, and the holy Scriptures, he vindicated by his philosophy the majesty of God mighty and good, and expressed the simplicity of the Gospel in his manners. Mortals rejoice that there has existed such and so great an ornament of the human race!" This epitaph highlights his monumental impact on science and human knowledge.
