Cuban has also invested in film production and has appeared on such TV series as Dancing with the Stars and Shark Tank.

Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author, widely recognized as one of the greatest mathematicians and physicists of all time and among the most influential scientists. He was a key figure in the philosophical revolution known as the Enlightenment. His start in life was fraught with illness and according to his mother, at birth, he could have fit inside a quart mug.
He was born especially tiny but grew into a massive intellect that still looms large.
"My powers are ordinary. Only my application brings me success." Isaac Newtown by James Gleick
