Newton's full name was Isaac Newton.
Sir Isaac Newton, President of the Royal Society, a famous British physicist, an encyclopedic "all-rounder", the author of "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" and "Optics".
In his 1687 book The 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.
Achievements:
Newton devoted himself to the study of the phenomenon of color and the nature of light. In 1666, he studied daylight with a prism and concluded that white light was made up of a mixture of light of different colors (i.e., different wavelengths) with different wavelengths of light with different refractive indices.
In visible light, red light has the longest wavelength and the smallest refractive index; Violet light has the shortest wavelength and the largest refractive index.
This important discovery of Newton became the basis for spectral analysis, revealing the secret of light color. Newton also pressed the convex surface of a well-ground convex lens with a large radius of curvature against a very smooth flat glass, which could be seen under white light, with a dark point in the center and concentric circles of light and dark around it.
Later generations called this phenomenon "Newton's ring". He created the "particle theory" of light, which reflected the nature of light movement from one side, but Newton was not opposed to the "wave theory" of light.
In 1704, Newton wrote Optics, in which he systematically expounded his research results in optics, in which he elaborated on the particle theory of light. He believed that light was made up of very tiny particles, while ordinary matter was made up of coarser particles.
And speculated that if through some kind of alchemical transformation, "can't matter and light be transformed into each other?" Isn't it possible for matter to get its main activity from light particles entering its structure, Newton also used glass spheres to create a triboelectrostatic generator in its primitive form.

Newton was British.
Sir Isaac Newton (4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, and alchemist. In 1687, he published The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, which expounded gravitation and the three laws of motion, which laid the foundation for mechanics and astronomy for the next three centuries and became the foundation of modern engineering.
The impact of Newton's three laws
1. Newton's first law.
Newton's first law is the premise and foundation of other principles. The basic concepts contained in the first law lay the conceptual foundation of classical mechanics, thus placing it in the position of the premise of the first principle in the theoretical system.
2. Newton's second law of motion.
Newton's second law of motion quantitatively explains the relationship between the change of the state of motion of an object and the force acting on it, and together with Newton's first law of motion and Newton's third law of motion, Newton's law of motion is an important law in mechanics, and it is the basis for the study of classical mechanics.
3. Newton's third law of motion.
It not only reveals the law of interaction between two objects, but also provides a theoretical basis for solving mechanical problems and transforming research objects, and broadens the scope of application of Newton's second law, which is an inseparable and important part of Newtonian physics.
