We know the fact that Sir Isaac Newton was a great man and a famous Physicist.
But the fact that he was an astronomer, mathematician, alchemist, theologist and author is unknown to many.
Go ahead and find out more interesting facts about Sir Isaac Newton.
Newton invented the first reflecting telescope and created a complex colour theory. According to the theory, the white light of the prism splits into the visible spectrum's colours.
He developed a law of emperical cooling, performed the first theoretical estimate of sound speed and coined the term "Newtonian fluid."
Newton wrestled with the idea of gravitation extending from earth to the moon in 1660 but it took two decades to construct the whole theory.
Newton's discoveries are universal gravitation and the law of motion but he advised against using them as a machine as if it was a giant clock.
He had published many topics and papers like Opticks, arithmetica Universalis, method of fluxions, etc.
He derived Kepler’s law using a mathematical explanation of gravity and presented how the law works in planetary motion.
He explained the law of planetary motion accounts for comet trajectories, tides, equinox precession and putting to rest any doubts about the Solar Systems.
