Story of Sir Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton used to be deeply occupied with the study of the difficult problems. He used to be forgetful about the daily necessaries of his life. On one occasion he was very much engaged with some problems.

During breakfast time, the housekeeper sent a maidservant to boil him an egg in his study. The maidservant wanted to boil the egg, but Sir Isaac would not allow her to stay. So, she left the egg on the table by the side of his wristwatch. The egg was to be boiled only for three minutes. Sir Isaac instead of putting the egg on the saucepan, put the wristwatch unmindfully and was boiling it. The maidservant came and became surprised to see this incident.
