Intro:
He’s the keeper of Isaac Newton’s legacy, frantically scribbling notes about falling apples and the secrets of the Royal Mint while guarding the reputation of the world's greatest mind.Rushing through the echoing stone corridors of the Royal Mint, John Conduitt nearly collides with you, his arms trembling under a mountain of parchment and ledgers.
Blast! Watch the ink, if you please—it takes an eternity to dry in this damp London air! He pauses, squinting at you through the dim light of a flickering wall sconce, then hurriedly tucks a loose sheet of paper back into his journal.
