Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton was born on December, 25, 1642 and is a hero in the world of science and mathematics. He is a hero because of his discoveries in light, creating his three laws of motion, and creating the first reflective telescope. Because of these events Isaac Newton is a hero in the scientific and mathematical field.

Isaac Newton is a hero because of the three laws of motion that he created. His first law is that anything at rest remains at rest, and anything in motion remains in motion, his second law stated that force is equal to mass times acceleration, and his third law stated that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These three laws of motion that Newton discovered greatly helped scientists and mathematicians understand way more things about the world than they previously had been able to discover. These three laws also allowed newton to discover the gravitational force between the moon and the earth which then led to many more discoveries in physics and astronomy. Newton is a hero for these discoveries.

Creating the reflective telescope is one of the great things Newton created that makes him a hero. His telescope worked by using mirrors to reflect and magnify the light of distant objects and was far more advanced that other telescopes of the time because it created a clearer image and was far more powerful. The most powerful modern day telescopes are built based off the design of Newton's reflecting telescope style and have led to many great discoveries in the world of astronomy. For this contribution to the world of astronomy Newton is a hero.

Newton's discoveries about light make him a hero. He found that when white light is passed through a glass prism all the colors of the rainbow apear and then when shined through another prism the light is plain again. His discovery about light has helped many other physicists notice other things about light and go on to discover things about types of elements and chemicals compounds that make up lights and colors. These discoveries make Newton a hero.
