When Was Isaac Newton Born?
Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. Using the "old" Julien calendar, Newton's birth date is sometimes displayed as December 25, 1642.

Isaac Newton’s Discoveries

Newton made discoveries in optics, motion and mathematics.

Newton theorized that white light was a composite of all colors of the spectrum, and that light was composed of particles.

His momentous book on physics, Principia, contains information on nearly all of the essential concepts of physics except energy,

ultimately helping him to explain the laws of motion and the theory of gravity. Along with mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, Newton is credited for developing essential theories of calculus.

What Did Isaac Newton Invent?

Newton's first major public scientific achievement was designing and constructing a reflecting telescope in 1668.

As a professor at Cambridge, Newton was required to deliver an annual course of lectures and chose optics as his initial topic.

He used his telescope to study optics and help prove his theory of light and color.

The Royal Society asked for a demonstration of his reflecting telescope in 1671,

and the organization's interest encouraged Newton to publish his notes on light, optics and color in 1672.

These notes were later published as part of Newton's Opticks: Or, A treatise of the Reflections, Refractions, Inflections and Colours of Light.

The Apple Myth

Between 1665 and 1667, Newton returned home from Trinity College to pursue his private study,

as school was closed due to the Great Plague. Legend has it that, at this time,

Newton experienced his famous inspiration of gravity with the falling apple. According to this common myth,

Newton was sitting under an apple tree when a fruit fell and hit him on the head, inspiring him to suddenly come up with the theory of gravity.

While there is no evidence that the apple actually hit Newton on the head, he did see an apple fall from a tree, leading him to wonder why it fell straight down and not at an angle.

Consequently, he began exploring the theories of motion and gravity.

'Principia' and Newton’s Laws of Motion

In 1687, following 18 months of intense and effectively nonstop work, Newton published Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy),

most often known as Principia. It is said to be the single most influential book on physics and possibly all of science

. Its publication immediately raised Newton to international prominence.

Principia offers an exact quantitative description of bodies in motion, with three basic laws of motion:

1) A stationary body will stay stationary unless an external force is applied to it.

2) Force is equal to mass times acceleration, and a change in motion (i.e., change in speed) is proportional to the force applied.

3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
