I cannot comment on the data but I think it's kind of interesting that Newton in this photo:

...bears a strong resemblance to Ben Davidson of SpaceWeatherNews, who is also brilliant (a speed reader with a very retentive memory and a rare case of Hyperthymesia, is very innovative, astute in the fields of math, astrophysics, meteorolgy, etc....though he is only 40 years old. I've seen that very same critical expression on his face in many of his youtube videos as we see on Newton's face in the portrait.

Recently in Ben's Q&A sessions on youtube, and especially after a very recent and traumatic divorce from an unfaithful wife, he has been demonstrating some unusually aberrant behavior.
And this is a description from:
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Isaac-Newton
...of Newton's volatile nature, probably due in part to traumatic events from his childhood:
Quote:
Deprived of a father before birth, he soon lost his mother as well, for within two years she married a second time; her husband, the well-to-do minister Barnabas Smith, left young Isaac with his grandmother and moved to a neighbouring village to raise a son and two daughters. For nine years, until the death of Barnabas Smith in 1653, Isaac was effectively separated from his mother, and his pronounced psychotic tendencies have been ascribed to this traumatic event. That he hated his stepfather we may be sure. When he examined the state of his soul in 1662 and compiled a catalog of sins in shorthand, he remembered “Threatening my father and mother Smith to burne them and the house over them.” The acute sense of insecurity that rendered him obsessively anxious when his work was published and irrationally violent when he defended it accompanied Newton throughout his life and can plausibly be traced to his early years.

Quote:
When Newton received the bachelor’s degree in April 1665, the most remarkable undergraduate career in the history of university education had passed unrecognized. On his own, without formal guidance, he had sought out the new philosophy and the new mathematics and made them his own, but he had confined the progress of his studies to his notebooks.
Both extremely dedicated,"bookish" scholars, both original and innovative, though controversial in their work.
More evidence of Newton's very tempermental nature related to controversy:
Quote:
Newton was also engaged in another exchange on his theory of colours with a circle of English Jesuits in Liège, perhaps the most revealing exchange of all. Although their objections were shallow, their contention that his experiments were mistaken lashed him into a fury. The correspondence dragged on until 1678, when a final shriek of rage from Newton, apparently accompanied by a complete nervous breakdown, was followed by silence. The death of his mother the following year completed his isolation. For six years he withdrew from intellectual commerce except when others initiated a correspondence, which he always broke off as quickly as possible.
And
Quote:
When the Royal Society received the completed manuscript of Book I in 1686, Hooke raised the cry of plagiarism, a charge that cannot be sustained in any meaningful sense. On the other hand, Newton’s response to it reveals much about him. Hooke would have been satisfied with a generous acknowledgment; it would have been a graceful gesture to a sick man already well into his decline, and it would have cost Newton nothing. Newton, instead, went through his manuscript and eliminated nearly every reference to Hooke. Such was his fury that he refused either to publish his Opticks or to accept the presidency of the Royal Society until Hooke was dead.

https://www.britannica.com/biography.../The-Principia ... about Newton's very colorful life, how he became quite a wealthy man, was very religious and found fulfillment in associating with other innovative scientists.
Criticisms have been registered here on the forum about Davidson's temper tantrums, his apparent acquisitiveness and his religion, but members who have been monitoring his work closely, including Bill Ryan, believe his scientific work has a lot of merit.
More about his very rare case of Hyperthymesia here:

I could certainly be wrong (and this is not exactly on topic so please pardon the diversion) but I am fairly intuitive and have often matched up past lives with current lives of various people of my acquaintance.
Though I don't know Davidson personally, my strong hunch is that this is another reincarnation match.
His accomplishments so far have been remarkable considering how controversial his work is and how a lot of it has been done single handedly, but he has reached a certain landmark now with Observer Ranch and it will be interesting to see how the work proceeds.
He has a second book coming out now and a new documentary due this Fall.
Hopefully he will be able to heal more easily than Newton did, and his Hyperthymesia prove to be more of a gift than a deterrant, as I think he has an important role to play. But much may depend on whether he can maintain emotional balance.
Newton lived to the age of 84, and Ben has the kind of ears which signal longevity in the ancient (and very accurate) art of Chinese Medicine, so he may well survive beyond the pole shift he is helping many Preppers to be ready for.

For "intellectual inspiration" Linconshire also appears to be tops, as it was there that Sir Isaac Newton, "studying in isolation", invented calculus, the binomial theorem, the law of universal gravitation and the discovery of the composite nature of white light - all at the tender age of twenty three and immediately after leaving Trinity College, Cambridge, where his academic career was said to be "undistinguished".
