SIR ISAAC NEWTON (1642-1727)




1.Isaac Newton is universally recognized as one of the greatest scientists of all times.

2.Isaac Newton was born in 1642.

3.At the age of 19 he entered Cambridge University where he displayed remarkable ability in science.

4.At 26 Newton became a professor at the University.

5.His main interests were mathematics, electrical mechanics and physical optics.

6.At twenty-two he began studying the theory of gravity.

7.Newton showed that the motions of the planets were the natural result of universal laws of nature.

8.His great work the "Principia" was published in 1687.

9.The laws of gravity enabled him to explain many mysteries of the structure of the universe.

10.Newton showed how the mass of the sun could be calculated from the speed and distance of any planet.

11.He found the true size and shape of the Earth.

12.The "Principia" created a wave of interest all over Europe and made many scientists become angry.

13.Most of them could not believe that great planets were hanging in empty space and were kept in their orbits by an unseen power of the sun.

14.Newton proved that mechanical laws acting on the earth are connected with mechanical laws of the whole universe.

15.Newton discovered the three most important laws of motion, but they are only part of Newton's contribution to physical science.
