My favourite person in history is Sir Isaac Newton. By publishing his great work, De Principia, he demonstrated once and for all (to a sceptical Scholastic world) that:
- Nature could be understood by the human mind
- Nature obeyed laws, which could be expressed mathematically
- Only by careful observation grounded in theories could the world be understood.
By doing so, he laid the foundations for modern science, the industrial revolution and our modern system of thinking about the natural world. It is to Sir Isaac Newton that we owe today's modern scientific thinking.

I would like to have met Abraham Lincoln. He was my favorite president as well. I would have liked to have seen him on April 10,1865, the day after the Civil War ended. I would have hoped to warn him beforehand about John Wilkes Booth's plot and he would have believed me and the Lincoln plan for Reconstruction would have passed just to see how history would have changed from that day forward.

Chief Red Cloud -Lakota Sioux. He was given credit for forcing the government to close the Bozeman Trail in 1868.

Socrates. He asked questions to gain the truth. He admitted he knew nothing. And what a fantastic character, to die for what you lived for.
