A descendant of Charlemagne and Grail Kings, Isaac should hold a special place in British history not only because of his seminal development of modern physics and mathematics but also because his differential calculus equations greatly contributed to the success of the British Empire in military application. The effectiveness of artillery trajectory calculus that evolved from the equations rendered British artillery with the capability to fire ordinance with deadly pinpoint accuracy. No other foe of the British Empire, except the Hohenzollerns, ever had that capability even decades later.

After decades, if not centuries, of controversy, it's now widely recognized that Isaac, not his German contemporary Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646- 1716), was the first to develop both differential and integral calculus. Though Leibniz was the first to publish his theories along those lines, we now know that Isaac was the first to develop them. Newton always maintained that Leibniz plagiarized the initial presentation of calculus theory papers he presented to the Royal Academy. Leibniz is thus regarded as having formalized mathematical representations, symbols, and the like, employed in the discipline today.

English mathematician John Collins, FRS, is recognised as having influenced Isaac's development of infinitesimal calculus. His correspondence to him also served to finally settle the polemic as to whether or not Newton created the mathematical discipline before Liebnitz.

Following review of Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1747, French mathematical physicist Alexis Clairaut proclaimed that "no one could deny that" (out of the 'Principia') "a science had emerged that, at least in certain respects, so far exceeded anything that had ever gone before that it stood alone as the ultimate exemplar of science generally." While not responsible for starting the Scientific Revolution from a historical perspective, Principia certainly served to legitimize the movement as a viable alternative to medieval alchemy in the eyes of governmental leadership concerns, especially in Britain.

As one of Isaac's few detractors soon after his death, British polymath William Blake (1757 - 1827) took exception with scientific empiricism. In his view, Isaac's scientific philosophy substantially mitigated against the nascent philosophical revolution he felt was on the cusp of emerging in Britain during that era. He somewhat demonized him through his poetry and paintings as a consequence.

Isaac was a direct descendant of Beli Mawr whose great-grandson Ludd married Anna of Arimathea. Anna was Joseph of Arimathea's daughter and the niece of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ.

Joseph spent much of his life in Glastonbury, England, where he became the Briton Minister of Mining for the Roman Empire. He later parlayed the experience into great personal wealth as a tin merchant. His fleet of ships plied most of the oceans of the world laden with processed tin. His nephew Jesus traveled the world on these ships during his youth until he returned to Palestine in his late 20s. Joseph spent his retirement years in Glastonbury; he was the first keeper of the Holy Grail.

Isaac was the second Chair of Lucasian Mathematics. The other two of my ancestors to hold the position are as follows:

Of the two, Stokes was by far and away from a peer of Isaac Newton. Thomas Turton was mainly known as an important theologian of his day.

Isaac's religious theology was similar to traditional Hebrew theology in that he rejected Trinitarianism, but more akin to Kabbalism. A prolific writer on the subject, he nonetheless believed in monotheism and Old Testament biblical prophecies.

He allegedly served as the Grand Master of the Priory of Scion from 1671 to 1727.

Only Muhammad has ranked ahead of Isaac in Michael H. Hart's The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History.

Isaac was the second scientist knighted in recognition of outstanding scientific achievement on behalf of the British Empire; Sir Francis Bacon was the first.

He was a descendant of bothTewdwr (Tudor) Mawr and Conan Meriadoc, both my great-grandfathers.
