While everyone else was busy dying from the plague, Newton was at home discovering that white light contains the entire spectrum of colors. Classic Newton move. Quarantined in his country house during the 1665-1666 Great Plague, he's just there with a prism going "rainbow go brrr" while society collapses. The man invented calculus as a side project during this time too, because apparently not even a pandemic can stop the relentless march of physics. Some people stress-bake during lockdowns; Newton revolutionized our understanding of light.
