Isaac Newton was a passionately religious man who wanted to know how God’s universe worked. His search for answers gave us the following:
- The law of Universal Gravitation
- Calculus
- A new Theory of Color & Light and
- The Three Laws of Motion.
Newton synthesized the discoveries of Galileo, Kepler and others, formalizing and transforming physical science.
He said, “I seem to have been only like a boy, playing on the seashore, and diverting myself, in now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me”.
