Sir Isaac Newton

Born on Christmas Day, 1642, Isaac Newton was an English polymath. He was a key figure of both the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment, along with publishing several important books that are still used today.


Perhaps one of his best-known theories was that of Gravity. At the time, he was working on celestial mechanics, using Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. This led to the Principia, which was published in 1687, explaining the ‘three universal laws of motion’.
