was one of the greatest movements in history. Inspired by the ideas of the Renaissance‚ a beautiful rebirth of intellect that had arisen from the stagnation of the Middle Ages‚ brilliant scientists such as Johannes Kepler‚ Galileo Galilei‚ and Isaac Newton sought to escape‚ disprove‚ and replace traditional beliefs with new ideas about the universe and the mechanical laws that govern it.

Sir Isaac Newton once said “What we know is a drop‚ what we don’t know is an ocean.” This means that there is so much waiting to be uncovered. With the knowledge that there is more to the world than what meets the eye‚ Newton went on to discover the laws of motion. Newton’s first law of motion is commonly referred to as the law of inertia. Newton’s second law of motion has to do with acceleration. Newton’s third law of motion explains the forces involved when two objects interact. These three laws
