QUOTE FROM ISAAC NEWTON

• "I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people"
• This quote explains how he is good at doing science related things but not people
• He explains how people are different in how they think is unique
• He can understand himself but the way others think is unique to them

HUMANISM

• He has changed the way that we think
• Even though he was deeply religious he still created the laws of motion
• They don't help you get to heaven which shows that it isn't all about religion
• He never really showed his religion and beliefs in the work he did

HOW HAS HE AFFECTED US TODAY?

• He has changed many things that we learn in school
• In school because of him we learn calculus
• We also know how the forces of motion work
• Without the principia we wouldn't understand the laws of motion
