Inside the Chapel, a statue of Sir Isaac Newton. At the base: "Qui genus humanum ingenio superavit" ("He surpassed the race of man in understanding," or more colloquially, "He was the smartest human ever"). Newton's ideas of gravity were adopted by later chemists to try to explain the attraction of certain atoms for others to form solid forms of matter.
