Working alone, discovers the laws of motion. Then he discovers the law of gravity. Universal law of gravitation.

And he goes home and he comes back. "I finally have my answer." And he said, "Well, Isaac, how did you do that?" "Well, I had to invent integral and differential calculus to answer that question." He then discovers the laws of optics, deducing that white light is composed of colors because you could take those same colors, recombine them, and get white light. He does all of this. Then he turns 26.
