When you hear of Isaac Newton, it is easy for one’s mind to recall the various lows of physics and the story of the apple falling from the tree. However, Isaac Newton is considered one of the greatest names in history. He was a philosopher, mathematician, scientist and an astronomer amongst a few practices. Isaac Newton is known best for his interpretation on the law of gravity and the laws of motion. Newton played a vital part in the foundation of scientific revolution in which modern science is heavily based upon. For a period of less than two years, Newton began revolutionary advances in mathematics and other areas such as optics, physics, and astronomy (O’Connor and Robertson). In 1687, Newton’s most important book was written. It was titled Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. This book was proven to be influential in the history of science. In his writings, Newton asserted the three Laws of Motion. Newton’s theory elaborated Kepler's laws of motion as well as stating the Law of Gravitation. In writing this book, it allowed Newton to reach his conclusions he used in his observations of planetary motion. Through this, Newton was designed and built a new telescope that used mirrors for reflection verses lenses to refract light. …show more content…
Newton’s theories filled in the gab by supposing a force was acting between the bodies were actually moving each other. According to Jha, Newton believed that according to his laws of motion that everything that moves from a standing start undergoes acceleration and where acceleration is there must be force (Jha, 2013). The Law of Universal Gravitation, by Newton tells us about the strength of gravitational force between two objects. New description is the force between two objects that are drop off in the same way, will have light become dimmer as you move from it; this is known as a mathematical
