The Genius Who Discovered Gravity… But Lost a Fortune , Human Psychology

Описание: What if the man who discovered gravity… couldn’t understand human behavior?
This is the fascinating story of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientific minds in history — and how he lost a fortune during one of the most famous financial bubbles ever recorded.
In 1720, the stock of the South Sea Company began rising rapidly. Investors across Britain believed it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The event later became known as the South Sea Bubble.
Newton invested early and made a profit.
But when he saw others getting richer, psychology took over.
He reinvested.
Soon after, the bubble collapsed.
Newton reportedly lost around £20,000 — equivalent to millions today — and later said a famous line that perfectly captures human psychology:
“I can calculate the motion of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.”
This documentary explores the psychology behind his decision:
fear of missing out, herd mentality, emotional investing, and why even the most intelligent minds can fall victim to human behavior.
Because sometimes…
The greatest danger isn’t ignorance.
It’s believing you are too smart to fail.
