Tomorrow - 25 December 1642
On this day
a genius was born.
He gave us the laws of motion and universal gravitation.
He is partly credited for development of the differential and integral calculus.
He built the first practical reflecting telescope.
He removed every perception about earth centric world.
Newton showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation, thus removing the last doubts about heliocentrism and advancing the scientific revolution.
