Nothing says "priorities in order" quite like discovering the fundamental properties of light while everyone else is busy dying. Newton literally invented calculus and revolutionized optics during a plague quarantine in 1665, using a prism to split white light into its rainbow components. Meanwhile, the Black Death was just an inconvenient backdrop. Classic scientific tunnel vision. "Sorry about your bubonic suffering, but have you seen what happens when I put this triangular glass thing in front of a sunbeam?"
