Tell us about Newton? Introduction to Newton Introduction to Newton

A person who thinks under an apple tree and is smashed by an apple and discovers a great law.

Newton, who is currently ranked second in the "Ranking of Influences on Human History", commented on him: God said that there should be light, and so there was Newton.

1. Sir Isaac Newton (January 4, 1643 - March 31, 1727), President of the Royal Society, a famous British physicist, an encyclopedic "all-rounder", author of "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" and "Optics".

2. In his 1687 "Laws of Nature", he described gravitation and the three laws of motion. These descriptions laid the foundation for the scientific view of the physical world for the next three centuries and became the basis of modern engineering. By demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravity, he showed that the motion of terrestrial objects and celestial bodies follows the same laws of nature; It provided strong theoretical support for the heliocentric theory and promoted the scientific revolution.

3. In mechanics, Newton expounded the principle of conservation of momentum and angular momentum, and proposed Newton's laws of motion. Optically, he invented the reflecting telescope and developed a theory of color based on the observation that a prism diverges white light into the visible spectrum. He also systematically formulated the law of cooling and studied the speed of sound.

Newton was a great scientist, physicist, who discovered the most fundamental principles of the universe, the law of universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, which laid the foundation of physics and modern engineering.

Mathematician, physicist, astronomer, natural philosopher.

As a teenager, Newton was not a child prodigy, he only had average grades, but he liked to read, and he liked to read books that introduced the methods of creating machine shops, and was inspired to try to make some strange gadgets on his own.

Sir Isaac Newton was the greatest and most influential scientist in human history, as well as a physicist, mathematician and philosopher, who in his later years became fascinated by alchemy and theology. In his monumental work "The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", published on July 5, 1687, he mathematically expounded the most basic laws of the universe - the law of universal gravitation and the three laws of motion. These four laws formed a unified system and were considered "the greatest achievement in the history of human intelligence", thus laying the foundation for the scientific outlook of physics for the next three centuries and becoming the foundation of modern engineering.

Newton established the banner of "rationalism" for mankind and opened the door to the Industrial Revolution. Newton was buried in Westminster Abbey after his death, becoming the first scientist to be buried here.
