In addition, the college was closed for two years due to a plague epidemic, however, Newton still continues his studying in Woolsthorpe. He single out his next 18 months as his “prime age of invention, and minded mathematics and philosophy more than anytime since.” Newton received his bachelor's degree in Trinity, and a master of arts degree in 1667. In 1672, after his election to the Royals Society, he introduced the people to his brilliant yet controversial study on the nature of color. This sparked many debates between him and Robert Hooke, who said Newton plagiarized from Hooke. Nevertheless, he was very successful in the field of Science.

He spend his time reading works of modern philosophers of his time. During his student's year, he performed experiments in optics and examining the nature of light. He did so by using a glass prism. Newton utilized the prism to break white light into rainbow of colors and recombine the colored particles into white light. With those experiments, he concluded that color is an intrinsic property of light was composed of particles. Newton also found out that white light is made up of various coloured rays that is visible in rainbow and spectrum. In addition, he experiment the fact that white light, when refracted to form colored light, did not change its properties. Newton then theorized that color is the results of objects interacting with colored lights rather than objects generating its own color. Despise the breakout, he didn’t publish his ideas until 1704, in Opticks, one of his greatest
