Isaac Newton was born at Woolthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. Isaac Newton was the man who discovers gravity. This discovery made a drastic impact on the world, and caused newtons 3 laws. 
Prior to Isaac Newton, the big authority on science was Aristotle. He believed that objects had a natural place (the ground) and a natural speed (rest) and tended to move toward those natural states. The accorded well with the Church's view, since the arbiter of what was natural was God.

Observations
Newton was in a garden when he noticed an apple falling. The observation that apples fall to the ground is not significant in itself. What matters is the conceptual jump that Newton performed, while sitting in the garden. Before Newton, the issue expressed was: "if apples fall, why does the Moon stay in the sky?" The breakthrough was Newton suddenly realizing that it was the wrong question: the Moon is also falling toward the Earth!]]> 2019-05-01 00:59:21 UTC https://padlet.com/caden_higgins/per6b4exoyh5/wish/355670079 caden_higgins https://padlet.com/caden_higgins/per6b4exoyh5/wish/355672163 Newton's ideas were so good that Queen Anne knighted him in 1705. I think people were blown away and really impressed by his inventions.]]> 2019-05-01 01:14:37 UTC https://padlet.com/caden_higgins/per6b4exoyh5/wish/355672163 caden_higgins https://padlet.com/caden_higgins/per6b4exoyh5/wish/355673015 Newton's impact on society and his influence on the scientific community, one of the words that may come to mind is 'significant'.  Another may be 'inspiring', or 'powerful'.  "Newtonian" is a term that has been used for generations to describe the bodies of knowledge that owe their existence to his theories. So, it seems to be safe to say that the contribution that Isaac Newton has made, not only to the scientific community, but to society as a whole, is extensive.]]> 2019-05-01 01:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/caden_higgins/per6b4exoyh5/wish/355673015
