Many small things in the world are very valuable, such as diamonds, but have you ever thought that something as simple as a human tooth can also be very valuable? One of the most expensive human teeth ever sold is a remarkable example of this.
The price of this tooth is exceptionally high, leaving many people surprised at its value. This remarkable tooth once belonged to none other than Sir Isaac Newton and was sold about 200 years ago.
In 1816, a tooth of Sir Isaac Newton was sold in London for US$3,633, which is equivalent to US$35,700 (about Rs 30.03 lakh) in today's time.
The buyer was a nobleman who reportedly embedded the tooth in a ring. The Guinness World Records has recognized it as the most valuable tooth ever sold.
Sir Isaac Newton, one of history's greatest scientists, died in 1726, leaving behind a legacy that transformed our understanding of the natural world. Newton is also known for discovering the law of gravity.
Newton's discovery of the law of universal gravitation is often attributed to an apple that fell from a tree in his garden at Woolsthorpe Manor in 1666. He realized that the force that caused the apple to fall was also responsible for the moon's orbit around the Earth and the orbits of the other planets around the sun.
In addition, he is also known for inventing calculus, creating the first practical reflecting telescope, and developing the theory of light.
