Isaac Newton By Elio Celentino | Elio's Learning Journal

Isaac Newton was one of the key philosophers in the world. He discovered many things and had many theories. He also was a great inventor. He was born on 1/4/1643 in the United Kingdom. His parents were Isaac Newton Sr. and Hannah Ayscough.

Isaac had no spouse. He went to Trinity college. He was a professor there from 1669-1701. He had thoughts of being a tutor but decided that his lectures were to good. Sadly, his college closed when the Black Plague hit.

Isaac Newton was a scientist, mathematician, and a professor. He started a scientific revolution. He came up with the theory of gravity. He was sitting under an apple tree when an apple hit him on the head. Then he thought why can we not fly, why are we stuck to the ground? Also, he thought why did the sky get dark at night? He realized there was this thing called Gravity that made the Earth spin around the sun and the moon spin around the Earth. When the moon lined up with the sun it got dark. This happened because when they lined up the moon would block the sun’s light. Isaac Newton also came up with the theory for white light. He thought that light was just white until he started investigating that. He made a prism that when you shined light into it the light came out rainbow. He realized that light is multi colored. These are some of the many reasons why Isaac Newton is famous. Also, the word Newtonian was named after him. Newtonian means you are smart. He formed the three laws of motion.

He was a representative in Parliament. He represented the nobility. He was also the president of the Royal Society in 1703. He made an enemy of John Flamsteed. John Flamsteed was the Astronomer Royal. Isaac Newton died on 3/31/1727 in Kensington, London.

As you can see Isaac Newton is a very fascinating guy. He is also very smart. Thank you for reading.
