Great people: Isaac Newton.

Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 (Old Style, December 25, 1642), at Woolsthorpe, England. His father died before Isaac was born. Isaac Newton's mother Hannah Ayscough noticed that her son was very clever boy since early childhood.

Isaac really was interested in physics, difficult science. Also, Newton studied Mathematics, Geometry, and Astronomy. In that time many many scientific laws were not know for people.

The scientist did a lot of important things for modern physics. Isaac Newton studied moving of subjects. He created Newton's laws of motion and Newton's law of universal gravitation. These laws and other discoveries are still important for us.

Isaac Newton was a popular man in his time. He never married. The scientist died in London on March 32, 1727.

“Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.”

“Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.”

“I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself now and then in finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”

“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

“To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.”

“Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.”

“The changing of bodies into light, and light into bodies, is very conformable to the course of nature, which seems delighted with transmutations.”
