ISAAC NEWTON

WHERE?

• The scientist was born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England on Christmas Day, 1642
• He also grew up and invented and discovered many things there
• Newton went to Trinity College, Cambridge University
• Newton is one of the most famous scientists of all time

MAJOR AcHIEVEMENTS

• Isaac Newton was a brilliant scientist, as well as an inventor
• He dicovered the law of gravity, as well as the three laws of motion
• Invented calculus, which we still use today
• Invented reflecting telescopes that we use to discover new things
• Isaac also advanced early modern chemistry

NEWTON'S BELIEFS

• He believed in the divinity of Christ and the Holy Spirit
• Jesus was the Messiah and atoned for our sins by dying on the cross
• He never believed in the externality on the cross
• Believed the father and the son are one, but weren't one in the sense that they were consubstantial (of the same substance)

QUOTES

• "Men build too many walls and not enough bridges"
• "No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess"
• "What goes up must come down"
• These quotes are what drove Newton to his great discoveries and inventions

WHAT MAKES HIM A HUMANIST?

• Like other men of his time, Newton was a humanist
• This is because his discoveries and inventions weren't driven by religion. They were his own thoughts.
• For example, he didn't invent calculus or discover gravity because of his beliefs of Jesus Christ

HOW DID HE AFFECT THE MODERN WORLD?

• Newton's discovery of gravity gave people the knowledge to invent new things and make discoveries
• For example, we may not have had the knowledge to go to outer space if we didn't know about the laws of gravity
• His invention of the reflecting telescope is used to discover new things in and about space, even to this day
• Without Newton's discoveries and inventions, we wouldn't be where we are today with technology and knowledge
