centuries ago by Sir Isaac Newton‚ who worked in many areas of mathematics and physics. Throughout recent science history‚ three of the most important theories proven were all evaluated by Isaac Newton. He developed the theories of gravitation in 1666‚ when he was only 23 years old. Some twenty years later‚ in 1686‚ he presented his three laws of motion in the "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis." Those discoveries are what we call today the Laws of Motion. Newton‚ who was born the same

describes quite accurately what took place in the scientific community following the sixteenth century. During the scientific revolution‚ medieval scientific philosophy was abandoned in favor of the new methods proposed by Bacon‚ Galileo‚ Descartes‚ and Newton; the importance of experimentation to the scientific method was reaffirmed; the importance of God to science was for the most part invalidated‚ and the pursuit of science itself (rather than philosophy) gained validity on its own terms. The change

Isaac Newton once said‚ “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” Newton’s quote explains how the scientists of the past are the Scientific Giants of today. Einstein‚ Galileo‚ and Newton all defied the odds of their time periods to discover amazing things. Today people use simple things that all were major developments of some scientists’ time. In Galileo’s era‚ people had no concepts of the solar system but now anyone can look up live pictures of space with the touch
