Isaak Newton
Birth date:1643.01.04
Death-1727.03.31 years-84
He was an English physicist, mathematician,
astronomer, naturalist, philosopher, alchemist
and theologian. His Mathematical Principles of
Natural Philosophy, published in 1687, is
considered to be the most influential book in
the history of science. In this book, he defined
the laws of gravity and the three laws of motion
of the universe, and for the next three centuries
he dominated the worldview of science and
began the field of classical mechanics, which
began modern engineering. A 2005 study by
the Royal Society of Who Influenced the
History of Science found that Newton was
more influential than Albert Einstein. Newton
was a wonderful, unique person. He had an
incomparable genius, but he was sober, and
sometimes he seemed to have lost his mind.
