“The Strange, Secret History of Isaac Newton’s Papers”. It’s a must read. 

“But then at the same time he left us 10 million words, which is one of the most extensive of any scientist, or even any one person.”

You need to live until about 90 and be averaging about 400 words a day from the days you’re out of short trousers. Albeit the 10m seems an exaggeration since much of it was transcripts of others stuff.

“Academics have spent much time assessing Mr Niederhoffer’s papers in light of his contribution to quantitative finance. It has surprised many that he had a burning obsession with furniture, being that he constantly referred to chairs in reverential fashion. He was also fascinated by forearm strength, regularly making reference to the world’s grip. Most surprising of all was a seeming chemical discovery in terms of a compound called flex-ions. Sadly the papers do not elucidate and scholars continue to debate the implications.”

The Newton was very good with the alchemy. And I have a few of his letters where he transcribed the alchemy. As for the Niederhoffer, he has an unquestionable shibboleth against the charting, and the trend following, which led to his premature death on many occasions.
