Newton died in March of 1727 in London, England.  He allegedly died a [[virgin]] after a lifetime as a [[confirmed bachelor]], and was buried in Westminster Abbey. After his death and burial, Newton was exhumed so he could be buried in a more prominent location in Westminster Abby.  During this exhumation process, it was discovered that Newton had large amounts of Mercury in his body, probably as a direct result of his [[alchemy]] experiments.  These large amounts of Mercury may explain Newton’s eccentricity in his latter years, as well as his cause of death.  <ref>Newton Biography[http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Newton.html]</ref>

 

 

Newton’s Laws stood as “laws” for years after his death, but in 1919 Newton’s law of gravitation was falsified by a series of experiments designed to test [[General Relativity]].  In the end these tests proved that Newton’s “laws” were not true laws of the universe. <ref>Newton’s Laws Falsified[http://www.don-lindsay-archive.org/creation/falsify.html]</ref>
