We often think about Newton when we see an apple falling from a tree: The man who came up with the gravity theory, a physics scientist who gave said event and others significant thought.
Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and writer who was commonly seen as one of the best mathematicians, physicists, and most prominent researchers of perpetuity. He was hailed as a "natural theorist" in his time. He was a considerable player in the Knowledge thought movement. In the year 1687, he wrote Mathematical Concepts of Natural Philosophy, which established classical mechanics. Newton also made considerable advances to optics, and he shares credit for developing infinitesimal calculus with German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
Newton created the concepts of movement and universal gravitation in Principia, which controlled clinical thought till the idea of relativity surpassed it. Newton used his math clarification of gravity to determine Kepler's laws of planetary movement, represent tides, comet trajectories, equinox precession, and other phenomena, showing the heliocentricity of the Planetary system. He showed that the exact same ideas could be used to clarify the movement of items in the world and celestial bodies. The geodetic observations of Maupertuis, La Condamine, and others later substantiated Newton's reduction that the Earth is an oblate spheroid, convincing most European researchers of Newtonian mechanics' supremacy over older systems.
