Isaac Newton by Maria GOTTOLI https://padlet.com/got0004/v6ppktwrlt5t Maria Gottoli and Max Coleman en-us 2017-05-15 03:59:47 UTC 2025-10-09 11:13:02 UTC hello@padlet.com Historical Significance got0004 https://padlet.com/got0004/v6ppktwrlt5t/wish/172232312 Isaac Newton has a wide range of discoveries. He took theories and applied them in ways that have never been done before. 
 
In 1687, Isaac Newton’s book Principia was published. The book was written in Latin and has 3 books included in it.

When Newton died in 1727, he left behind no will and an enormous stack of papers. His surviving correspondences, notes, and manuscripts contain an estimated 10 million words. There are many pages of scientific and mathematical brilliance. There are also pages that uncover another side of Newton, a side his descendants tried to keep hidden from the public.

While sorting through old chemistry books at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia a professor stumbled upon a forgotten manuscript handwritten by Sir Isaac Newton. Any Newton manuscript is of interest, but this one was worth its weight in gold, literally. As a chemist he historian of science he recognised it immediately.  

Isaac Newton has left behind theories and discoveries and ideas yet to be unravelled. These things could change our world completely all thanks to him.

However, views on him have been overrated, and some people believe he was the most accomplished scientist of the past.
The Biography.com editors argue that “Isaac Newton's fame grew even more after his death, … many of his contemporaries proclaimed him the greatest genius who ever lived. Maybe a slight exaggeration,” (http://www.biography.com/people/isaac-newton-9422656#!) This shows that Isaac Newton might be a bit overrated, however his accomplishments aren’t taken for granted.

Sarah Dry believes that “In the history of science there is no greater figure than Newton. … So he’s become an icon, both more and less than human.” This shows that he made a big impression that has lasted for many years after his death, and that he is valued very much.

“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.” 

Isaac Newton, The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy

This book by Isaac Newton is called Principia. Its original name is Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in Latin. It depicts the all the important scientific discoveries and theories he unravelled.

The source shows that he thought the solar system was beautiful, because the earth with all of it’s life is in it, and he thinks that only a god could create something like that. An intelligent and powerful being. Does Newton mean that it could be god? Or is he thinking politically? Was God then one that he believed, was the one to create this “beautiful system”. The Principia was very famous when it was first written, it had many theories that Newton wrote that were yet to be discovered and many scientists were experimenting at that time. Now
