There’s a parallel one about Einstein. As he was riding a tram to the patent office he wondered what the scenery would be if he was instead riding on a beam of light.

Sir Isaac never married and never had children. He almost never had any friends, because he was too busy being eccentric and brilliant. He did have contact with scientists in a local club and managed to be invited to a meeting to present his findings. Also, he almost never took a bath. The apple story may be a myth. If it did happen, he probably had an awful headache in the morning.
