Who is Oliver Sykes?

Oliver Scott Sykes is an English musician, writer, photographer, clothing designer and entrepreneur who reached the peak of his fame with his rock band ‘Bring me the Horizon’ where he performs as the lead vocalist. He also runs a successful apparel company named ‘Drop Dead Clothing’. Oliver is a man of many talents and ever since he made his move to the art world, he has constantly been the talk of the town due to his perfectionist persona, which he utilizes in all his endeavours. This has earned him a great fortune and a massive fan base all around the world. His musical journey is laden with gems such as ‘Count your Blessings’ and ‘Suicide Season’. Oliver and his band have released five studio albums until now and almost all of them were chart toppers when they got out into the market. Although a controversial figure, his fan base stood with him during the times of emotional and professional un*stability and helped him stand up again. He embarked into creative writing with a graphic novel and clothing business and excelled at both of them. Apart from touring and releasing music albums for his own band, Oliver has also collaborated with different artists such as DJ Skrillex and an English metalcore band While She Sleeps. Oliver remains one of the most looked after British celebrities of present times and continues to grow.

Childhood & Early Life

Oliver Sykes was born in Kent, England on 20th November 1986 to Ian and Carol Sykes. The family moved to Australia soon after Oli was born and for the next few years, the Sykes family kept hopping from one place to another in Australia due to professional reasons. The family made their move back to their homeland while Oli was 8 years old and settled there permanently.

Oliver attended Stocksbridge High School. He was a year junior to Arctic Monkeys band members Alex Turner and Matt Halder. Sykes says that at the school, he was much more interested in English literature and art subjects as compared to mathematics or science. He would never miss the art class and was faculty’s favourite and his inclination towards music started while he was at school.

In 2003, he started taking his career in music seriously and devised ways to get a head-start. He started making compilation CDs and tiny tracks while using the moniker Quakebeats. He, along with his brother Tom Sykes, started performing in bands and gained popularity, which infused enough confidence in him to enable him to take making music as his full time occupation.

Isaac Newton is best know for his theory about the law of gravity, but his “Principia Mathematica” (1686) with its three laws of motion greatly influenced the Enlightenment in Europe. Born in 1643 in Woolsthorpe, England, Sir Isaac Newton began developing his theories on light, calculus and celestial mechanics while on break from Cambridge University. 

Years of research culminated with the 1687 publication of “Principia,” a landmark work that established the universal laws of motion and gravity. Newton’s second major book, “Opticks,” detailed his experiments to determine the properties of light. Also a student of Biblical history and alchemy, the famed scientist served as president of the Royal Society of London and master of England’s Royal Mint until his death in 1727.

Isaac Newton: Early Life and Education

Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. The son of a farmer who died three months before he was born, Newton spent most of his early years with his maternal grandmother after his mother remarried. His education was interrupted by a failed attempt to turn him into a farmer, and he attended the King’s School in Grantham before enrolling at the University of Cambridge’s Trinity College in 1661. Newton studied a classical curriculum at Cambridge, but he became fascinated by the works of modern philosophers such as René Descartes, even devoting a set of notes to his outside readings he titled “Quaestiones Quaedam Philosophicae” (“Certain Philosophical Questions”). When the Great Plague shuttered Cambridge in 1665, Newton returned home and began formulating his theories on calculus, light and color, his farm the setting for the supposed falling apple that inspired his work on gravity.

Isaac Newton and the Law of Gravity

In 1684, English astronomer Edmund Halley paid a visit to the secluded Newton. Upon learning that Newton had mathematically worked out the elliptical paths of celestial bodies, Halley urged him to organize his notes. 

The result was the 1687 publication of “Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica” (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), which established the three laws of motion and the law of universal gravity. Newton’s three laws of motion state that (1) Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of motion unless an external force acts on it; (2) Force equals mass times acceleration: F=MA and (3) For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

“Principia” propelled Newton to stardom in intellectual circles, eventually earning universal acclaim as one of the most important works of modern science. His work was a foundational part of the European Enlightenment.

With his newfound influence, Newton opposed the attempts of King James II to reinstitute Catholic teachings at English Universities. King James II was replaced by his protestant daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange as part of the Glorious Revolution of 1688, and Newton was elected to represent Cambridge in Parliament in 1689. 

Newton moved to London permanently after being named warden of the Royal Mint in 1696, earning a promotion to master of the Mint three years later. Determined to prove his position wasn’t merely symbolic, Newton moved the pound sterling from the silver to the gold standard and sought to punish counterfeiters.

The death of Hooke in 1703 allowed Newton to take over as president of the Royal Society, and the following year he published his second major work, “Opticks.” Composed largely from his earlier notes on the subject, the book detailed Newton’s painstaking experiments with refraction and the color spectrum, closing with his ruminations on such matters as energy and electricity. In 1705, he was knighted by Queen Anne of England.
