About this listen

He wasn’t just the man who discovered gravity. He was the man who tried to measure God. Isaac Newton is often remembered as the cold genius who sat under an apple tree and changed the world with a single thought. But the truth is far stranger — and far more human. Heaven’s Codebreaker peels back the myth to reveal the obsessive, secretive, visionary mind behind modern science. From his stormy birth and isolated childhood to his battles with rivals, his hidden writings on alchemy and the apocalypse, and his transformation from lonely scholar to ruthless Mint official, this biography traces Newton not just as a scientist — but as a system-builder, a codebreaker, and a man chasing something far beyond the physical world.

This is not a story about gravity. This is a story about control.
