“10 famous physicist and their contributions” 1. Isaac Newton quantified and qualified the laws of motion and gravity. He also invented the reflecting telescope and co-invented the mathematic process of calculus. 2. Albert Einstein developed theories of relativity‚ and won a Nobel Prize for his work on the photoelectric effect. 3. Galileo Galilei improved on the refracting telescope and discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter‚ but he is most well-known for standing up

Newton ’s Law of Universal Gravitation Gravity if one of the four fundamental forces in the universe. Though the fundamental principles of it eluded scientists until Sir Isaac Newton was able to mathematically describe it in 1687 (Eddington 93). Gravity plays a serious part in everyday actions as it keeps everything on the ground; without gravity everything would be immobile unless a force was applied (then it would move infinitely because there would be no force to stop it). Perhaps‚ the

Newton’s Laws First let’s get to know some history about the man behind all of this‚ Sir Isaac Newton. Sir Isaac Newton‚ the man who is responsible for what we all have come to know as the “Laws of Motion” was born on January 4‚ 1643‚ which is very often displayed as December 25‚ 1642‚ if using the older version of the Julien calendar‚ in the Helmet of Woolsthorpe‚ England. Sir Isaac Newton is believed to be one of the most influential scientists known to have ever lived. His ideas became the basis
