How Did Isaac Newton Contribute To The Scientific Revolution

Isaac Newton was Born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, England. Isaac Newton was a great physicist and mathematician, and was credited as one of the greatest minds of the 17th century and Scientific Revolution. With Isaac Newton’s discoveries in optics, motion and mathematics, he developed the principles of modern physics.

At age 12, Isaac Newton had attended The King’s School, Grantham. Where he was taught the basics and classics, but he wasn't taught any sciences or mathematics. When he turned 17, his mother stopped him from going to school so that he could be home and work on the farm to become a farmer. Fortunately for Isaac, the liking of science he had, was far greater than the love of farming. It was so much so that his mother allowed him to return to his schooling, where there he finished as top student. He also discovered the method to gravity and the mathematical and scientific explanations to it. Newton developed the three laws of motion which form the basic principles of modern physics. His discovery of calculus led the way to more powerful methods of solving mathematical problems.
This inspired other scientists research the laws of nature. Without Newton’s theory and help about the movement of heavenly bodies, astronauts would never have made it to the moon. Newton’s work led up to Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. A century later, after Newton’s death on March 31, 1727, scientists started to find things that did not follow his laws.He also had a theory that light was a particle yet no one believed him. All of the other scientists thought that light was a wave. Later on it was confirmed that light really was a particle and not a wave, so it turned out that Isaac Newton really was right, but wasnt credited for the discovery when it was
