One weird think about his birth date is that some calendars say…...

Mathematics for most people is a system which concerns with numbers and calculation. People find it boring and not worth the effort we invest on it as it just involves the working with numbers and calculators. However, Mathematics is the most beautiful and the most powerful creation of human spirit. People; mostly the kids think that mathematics and no useful purpose then fulfilling the necessities of our daily lives and smooth operations for the financial transaction we engage in our…...

I believe that science opens our views; however at the same time I believe that science can make us narrow-minded. Knowledge and science according to me includes logic, critical thinking and being able to support your own beliefs. And that is more open-minded than narrow-minded if you ask me. However there are narrow-minded scientists who claim that they are right and refuse to listen to other opinions or views, just like one of the lines in an old Simon and…...

Introduction – The understanding of the physical sciences and the law governing it is not complete without the understanding of the different physical laws provided by Isaac Newton, whose contribution to the field of science is very important and crucial in the development of the human understanding of the physical forces governing the way of life. Newton’s Third Law of Motion – Newton’s Third Law of Motion is a part of Newton’s three different laws of motion which are interrelated…...

Calculus is an integral part of the mathematics world. Various mathematicians coming from all parts of the world have shaped this theorem but the two main contributors are Sir Isaac Newton and Wilhelm Von Leibniz. The reason they are considered the inventors of Calculus is because they were able to give a unified approach to tangent and area problems unlike the others who used specific methods. Both of these mathematicians developed general concepts Newton was associated with the fluxion and…...

The Enlightenment and Romantic periods had various views on nature through works and paintings; however they likewise looked for to acknowledge the limitations in human understanding through the research study of nature. The Enlightenment was a period where it attempted to discuss and study the true nature of humanity and how it progressed. Nature was the science of Earth's advancement. G. L Buffon was the foremost specialist and he had the ability to produce a multivolume 'Nature of the Earth.…...

In all my life I have discovered many things. My discoveries have allowed us to make more new discoveries. But a problem I think of is what the world would be like if I never existed. To start things off one important discovery I made was modern physics. If I was never to make the discoveries in optics, motion, and mathematics modern physics wouldn’t of existed which means that scientist wouldn’t have never known that every object in the universe…...

Newton was known as a natural philosopher during his life but his theories of motion, gravity, light, etc formed the cornerstone of what would become known as physics. He probably contributed more to the science than any single person before or after him. Newton's 1687 publication of the Principia is considered to be among the most influential books in the history of science, laying the groundwork for most of classical mechanics. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the…...

The innovation of the vehicle is an advancement of ideas and actions, beginning with Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton's theoretical plans for a motor vehicle that resulted in the invention of the first self-propelled car. The creation of the vehicle changed American society by changing a nation of separated communities into a single entity. The ultimate honor of the first motorized automobile is associated to Nicolas Joseph Cugnot, an engineer and mechanic in the French Military. In 1769, Cugnot…...

A Short History of Nearly Everything is a popular science book by American author Bill Bryson that explains some areas of science, using a style of language which aims to be more accessible to the general public than many other books dedicated to the subject. It was one of the bestselling popular science books of 2005 in the UK, selling over 300,000 copies.[1] instead describing general sciences such as chemistry, paleontology, astronomy, and particle physics. In it, he explores time…...

Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and physicist. He was thought about among the greatest researchers in history. Newton was also the culminating figure in the clinical transformation of the 17th century. Newton was best understood for his discovery that the force called gravity affects all items in area and on earth . Isaac Newton was born on December 25, 1642, in the hamlet of Wollsthorpe, Lincolnshire (R.S.W. 17) His Father died only 3 months prior to he was…...

"Gravity is a force of attraction that exists between any two masses, any two bodies, any two particles. Gravity is not just the attraction between objects and the Earth. It is the attraction that exists between all objects". (NASA gravity 2000) Gravity is a very essential part of life on earth. We are in the exact position in the sun's gravitational field to keep us in orbit and keep life ongoing on our planet. Gravity is a downward force on…...

Sir Isaac Newton has made an impact on scientists to this day. Even though his discoveries derived in the late 1600s, we are still affected today in the present. The ideals and theorems he sought out still hold legitimate centuries after his time. With the information laid out for them, a scientists using his theories can improve their research to achieve fame themselves. “Some would say that he was the greatest product of the Enlightenment, the explosion of intellectual knowledge…...
