Let’s Study Isaac Newton!

As we continue this journey of exploring the life and works of some of the most famous scientists that changed our understanding of the world around us, we are ready to discover all about Isaac Newton. So far we have explored Archimedes and Galileo. So, where does Isaac Newton fit into this famous scientist shortlist? Get ready to learn all about it. Let’s study Isaac Newton.

Isaac Newton continued the dialogue started by Galileo. In fact, Isaac was born within days of Galileo’s death.

Archimedes explored the “Why” of an object’s movement. Galileo tested and retested ideas of  “How” objects move. Newton pulled it all together and formulated the universal laws of motion that apply to all objects. Then, he went even further to create a math system (Calculus) to explain the laws of motion in mathematical terms. 

But, there is so much more to the life of Isaac Newton than universal laws and math. From the day he was born, his tumultuous personal life, obsessive ideas, and unique personality weave together an eventful & intriguing story of competition, secrecy & even knighthood.
