While Europe was getting decimated by the Black Death, Isaac Newton was just vibing in his room with a prism, discovering the entire visible spectrum. Talk about priorities! In 1665, Cambridge University closed due to plague, forcing Newton to retreat home where he casually revolutionized optics by proving white light contains all colors. The man literally sat in quarantine and figured out rainbows while everyone else was, you know, trying not to die. History's most productive social distancer.
