Newton is widely recognized as one of the most influential scientist of all the time and as key figure in scientific revolution . John conduit, personal assistant of Newton in his final years called him as a ‘national man ‘ Contribution of Newton's to the development of science is single handedly more than any other individual in History. He produced a scheme of universe which was elegant, more consistent and intuitive than any proposed before surpassing all the gains brought about by the great scientific minds of antiquity.methodologies of Aristotle and Aquinas, which had outlined separate methods for different disciplines in contrast to this Newton stated explicit principles of scientific methods which applied to universally all branches …show more content…
His discoveries, which granted powerful tools to mathematics, gave physics its theoretical foundations and created launch pad for future development in science . One of his many discoveries led to deeper understanding of nature and gave physics a firm physical and mathematics foundation. His major contributions to theoretical physics was ‘the laws of motion which defined the concept of inertia and force in other words effect that the absence and presence of a force has on object.This law made transition of physics from an empirical field to a science with sound theoretical foundations. His second greatest discovery was ‘Newton's law of gravitation’ which defines the universal force of gravity . Newton derived Kepler's ‘empirical less of planetary motion’ using this law and making explanation based on it. Before Newton many people may have observed apples and all kinds of other things falling down but none of them followed the broad generalisation that it represent .Newton figured out that even moon falls towards the earth and earth towards the sun , in the same way . Man could understand the motion of planets and satellite for the first time and give it a rational thought
