Sir Isaac Newton (January 4, 1643 – March 31, 1727) 

Physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton became one of the most
influential scientist of all time for formulating the three basic laws of
motion and the law of universal gravitation. He also built the first
practical reflecting telescope. His mother wanted him to be a farmer,
but the headmaster of King’s School in Lincolnshire, England, Henry
Stokes, convinced her to let him complete his education.

Newton created and developed the first color wheel.
