Sir Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton,
Sir Isaac Newton, (4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727 [OS: 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727]) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian and one of the most influential men in human history.
In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Newton showed that the motions of objects on Earth.
There is a popular story that Isaac Newton was sitting beneath an apple tree when an apple dropped on his head and this inspired him to create his universal theory of gravitation. The story is probably an exageration. In Newton's account of the event he was sitting at his window at his home, Woolsthorpe Manor and watched an apple fall from a tree in the garden which turned his thoughts to gravity.
