He was born in 1642, and he died in 1727. In his life, he made some of the most important discoveries in the history of science. He completely changed the way Earth and the entire universe were understood by scientists. At the age of twenty-three, Newton discovered a major concept in algebra, which was then a new kind of math. At the same age, he worked out the basic ideas of calculus. This is a kind of math important to space travel and to understanding the size and nature of space. We couldn’t even put a person in space without the figures made possible by this kind of math! Newton also discovered the basic law of gravity. This is the idea that all objects in the universe are pulled toward each other. It explains that the strength of this pull depends on the size of each object. The force also depends on how far away objects are from each other. Heavier objects have greater power to pull other objects. And objects closer to each other have a greater power to pull. Newton explained the three laws of motion. These laws describe the actions of moving objects and how other forces affect these objects. All of his ideas help explain the nature of matter and energy. Newton was the first scientist to prove that white light itself is made up of seven colors. They are red, orange, yellow, green-blue, violet, and indigo. He also invented the reflecting telescope. This improved tool made possible a much more detailed study of the stars and planets. In the minds of many people, Isaac Newton is the greatest scientist of all time.
