Isaac Newton transformed the structure of science with his three laws of motion. His first law states that objects continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. The second law is that the rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the resultant force acting on it, and will be in the same direction. The third law states that all forces act in pairs and are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Newton created a law of universal gravitation. It meant that every mass attracts every other mass in the universe. Also, the gravitational force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
As a kid, Newtown went through so much difficulty that impacted his life. His mother remarried, he moved away…etc. As a result, he developed ridiculous thoughts and bad …show more content…
Like most universities in Europe, Cambridge was submerged in Aristotelian philosophy, dealing with nature in qualitative rather than quantitative terms. During his first three years at Cambridge, Newton was taught the standard curriculum, but was pleased with the science that was more advanced. During this time Newton kept a second set of notes, called Quaestiones Quaedam Philosophicae. These notes revealed that Newton had learned the new concept of nature that provided the structure for the Scientific
