Crane, my dude, can I get in on the extra credit, too?
ReplyDeleteYours truly,
Pat Lawx
1. He created calculus; gravity and motion
ReplyDelete2. Galileo died the same year Newton was born.
3. His father died before he Newton was born.
4. His mother left Isaac with his grandparents. Even said he wanted to burn his mother's house down.
5. 1,600 - 1,800 volumes
6. Newton did not want to get infected with the plague.
7. He did not like the average speed, and he wanted smaller time intervals.
8. He proved that white light is a combination of all colors.
9. His students became less interested, and they didn't undersand.
10. He used a mirror instead of a lense. It did not distort the image.
11.He became famous from his paper on light, and when he showed his toy telescope to the King.
12. he claimed that he accepted Newton's experiments, but he already did them. He also says his claims on light were wrong.
13. Greek Myths
14. Newton believed that Christ is not equal to God, but he is the son. God is superior.
15. He tried to find when the world would end
16. Illipticle shaped.
17. Robert Hooke
18. He never determined what exactly gravity is, just how to find the strength.
19. Master of the Mint
20. optics, which is his work on light.
I also found it extremely interesting how influential Newton was on creating ideas that are used today. The impact hat he had is tremendous, and it is engrossing whether or not he decides the exact year he world will end(2060). I agree with the scientists that his idea of gravity with the fruit is skeptical. Finally, I do not know how more than 3 centuries later, that these secret documents were just recently found.
