In his own words, how did Newton treat the name "Great Man"?

1687, Newton published the book "Mathematical Principles of Nature", which successively explained the "law of universal gravitation" and the "three laws" of macroscopic motion of cosmic objects. His "greatness" is not only reflected in opening the scientific era of modern physics, but more importantly, giving people the spirit of rational thinking. In the relationship between man and nature, human beings can explore and think about natural phenomena with rational spirit, so that human beings can start.

Under the guidance of rational spirit, mankind began to enter the era of the first industrial revolution, so Newton was the theoretical founder of the industrial revolution.

At the same time, his scientific theory and research spirit broke the superstition of religion and promoted people's ideological liberation at that time.

Therefore, Newton can be regarded as "great".
