Sir Isaac Newton was an English scientist whose work in physics, mathematics, and astronomy fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the universe. His revolutionary theories of universal gravitation and the laws of motion, detailed in his seminal work, laid the groundwork for classical mechanics. This treatise not only unified celestial and terrestrial motions under a single set of natural laws but also advanced the scientific revolution. Newton also made profound contributions to optics and mathematics, including the development of calculus.
