Being confined to home with family is mostly the best thing that can happen.It generally helps one to come out with better version of self. Evidently, most revolutionary scientific ideas have  came from isolation.Sharing with you few of these.

1.Issac Newton in 1665 was confined to his family estate in Lincolnshire with his mother when Cambridge closed down due to plague epidemic .Newton would sit with prisms in dark room allowing the light to enter through a tiny hole made in shutter , his studies lead to some of the remarkable explanation of optical phenomena at that time . In isolation observing a falling apple in his garden made him understand that it is the same gravitation force that pulls the apple  is also responsible for lunar orbit .The mathematical model to solve the problem of distribution of mass led to development of whole calculas.

2.Werner Heisenberg in June of 1925  had a sever attack of hay fever because of allergies to pollen.  For change of climate he decided to go to the Baltic coast.  While he was musing on rocks overlooking the Baltic Sea, it led to a revelation that  many of the quantities he was struggling to describe within the Bohr-Sommerfeld model were not things any physicist could ever hope to measure directly which led to his famous  'uncertainty principle'.

3.In  December 1925 another great  Erwin Schrödinger struggling to find answers to quantum problems within domain of relativity  put aside his work, and went off to a remote mountain cabin on a ski holiday with one of his many mistresses , spending the days skiing, and staying up late nights working on physics   and by the time he returned to Vienna he had a non-relativistic wave equation, now known as the Schrödinger equation, that allowed him to correctly describe the states  of electrons.

It seems,Our imagination functions much better when we don't have to speak to people.
So let's use the opputunity .
