Newton is so strongly the posterboy for how you can be brilliant in one area, and still so wrong in so many others. He spent about equal time looking at physics, alchemy and some bullshit da-vinchi code search for secrets in biblical numerology. Can you just imagine how much further he could have pushed physics and mathmatics if he hadn’t spent 2/3rds of his time chasing red herrings.
