Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe, England and was known as an English physicist and a mathematician. He was most famous for the law of gravitation which was instrumental in the scientific revolution of the 17th century. (Isaac Newton Biography.com. A&E Networks Television, 20 Apr. 2016)
In 1661, he enrolled at the University of Cambridge’s Trinity College where he studied a classical curriculum but became fascinated by the jobs of modern philosophers. Four years later in 1665, when the Great Plague closed Cambridge Isaac went home and began formulating theories on calculus, light and color, and his farm of the setting for the guess of the falling apple that influenced him to work on gravity. He then returned to college at Cambridge in 1667 where he was elected a minor professor. A year later …show more content…

His theory of optics made him think about the design of the telescope and by using mirrors instead of lenses Newton found out that he could create a powerful instrument. (BBC Isaac Newton: New ideas lead to a revolutionary new telescope, 2017) In the same year, Newton earned his Master of Art Degree and became a Cambridge’s Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. Before he was elected to the Royal Society in 1671 and publishing his notes on optics for his peers he was asked to give a demonstration of his telescope to the Royal Society of London. Over all his experiments with refractions Newton discovered that white light was a composite of all colors on the spectrum and stated the fact that the light was composed of particles instead of waves. In 1684, English astronomer Edmund Halley visited the secluded Newton. After learning that Newton had mathematically worked out the abstruse paths of celestial bodies, Edmund persuaded him to organize his notes. This resulted in the 1687 publication of “Philosophiae Naturalis
