Sir Isaac Newton and the Occult

February 18, 2012

Revealed: The occult obsessions of Britain’s greatest scientist Sir Isaac Newton

“He laid the foundations of classical physics and is considered to be one of the greatest scientists of all time.

But Sir Isaac Newton was also deeply interested in the occult and applied a scientific approach to the study of scripture and Jewish mysticism.

Now Israel’s national library, which contains a vast trove of Newton’s esoteric writings, has digitised his occult collection and posted it online.

Among the yellowed texts is Newton’s famous prediction of the apocalypse in 2060.”

“The Israeli library says the manuscripts help illuminate Newton’s science and well as his persona.

‘As far as Newton was concerned, his approach was that history was as much a science as physics. His world view was that his “lab” for understanding history was the holy books,’ said Levy-Rubin.

‘His faith was no less important to him than his science.’
