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.
