Isaac Newton's Accomplishments

The world we know today would be extremely different if Sir Isaac Newton had never been alive or had never published his genius theories. Even today, Newton is still praised for his incredible studies and workings in the area of physics of the universe and calculus. During the time Newton was alive, it seemed as if no human mind could ever begin to detangle and determine any of his findings. He lived in a small village as a child with his mother and stepfather. In his youth, Newton supposedly began to wonder what made the universe work. His interest in such higher knowledge was said to have happened one day when he was sitting under an apple tree when an apple fell on him. Young Newton began to ponder what had made this apple fall and why …show more content…
His very famous laws of gravity described how objects could be in motion as well as not be in motion at all. This concept and idea lay down the foundation for the study of physics. Speaking on Newton’s three laws Olso says,"Newton introduced his three laws of motion and, based on them, established his law of universal gravitation" (Olso). Using his three laws of the world, Newton showed through them how the gravity of the universe worked. What is so awe inspiring about the intelligence of Newton was that he had the mental understanding in order to figure out how the universe basically …show more content…
Newton’s theories of light are shown when the article states,“He discovered that white light is a mixture of all the colours of the rainbow" ("Isaac Newton Was a Scientific Genius"). Newton proved that white light is composed of waves, each color containing a different wavelength and if white light were to be refracted it would separate into the colors of which it contained. These same colors made rainbows through the natural refraction of sunlight in raindrops. By experimenting with white light and refraction, he was able to use these to create a light reflecting
