Excerpt: Sir Isaac Newton PRS (25 December 1642 - 20 March 1727 ) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian. His monograph Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, lays the foundations for most of classical mechanics. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Newton showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws, by demonstrating th..
