Newton only thought of the concept of gravity*, put a value to it and divided some laws to do with it. Gravity is still unproven, there is no evidence to prove its existence.

*I'm not sure if this is true but he supposedly thought of gravity because he was sat under a tree and an apple fell on his head. He though that something must have cause the apple to fall and so came up with gravity to explain it.

Newton was one clever guy, and it is said that he improved every field of science he studied. A poll of scientists considered him to be the third most influential person, after Jesus and Muhammad, and ahead of Einstein.

In the case of gravity, it was soon after a comet passed, that he refined his ideas on cometary and planetary motion.

Soon after he chanced to see an apple fall from a tree (as he said on several occasions) and this led him to consider this aspect of gravity. [The idea that he was hit by a falling apple is a comic falsehood!]

There are many good studies of his work on gravity, telescopes, calculus, mathematics and so on. Any encyclopedia or search engine will give data.

Isaac newtons personality?

Well if you look it up a search engine..you'll find out Newton was a very insecure man, highly introverted and secretive. He had several breakdowns in his life, he was obsessively competitive and had rows with other scientists like Robert Hooke. He was also very unforgiving I heard he suspected his own friends to conspiring against him. Newton never had women friends and he never married. Hope That'll do


How did Isaac Newton's first law affect or impact today's society?

Isaac Newtons discoveries had many effects on the world without them we wouldn't have gotten far we would still be wondering what is motion, gravity and light is and what its there for. His discovery has opened doors for many people and also science. In the future we would have made much better things because of these amazing discoveries and know and understand more about it and why its there for us. this was answered by anonymous (@llz.P)

If you experiment you will find that it takes a mere fraction of a second in most cases, but it depends upon the size of the puncture.


Who was Isaac in Jewish history?

He was the son of Abraham and Sarah. You can find his history in Genesis ch.17, ch.21-22, and ch.24-27. Isaac is the second of the three Forefathers and (like Abraham and Jacob) one of the greatest personages in Judaism. Isaac (Yitzhak) was a son of Abraham (Genesis ch.21); and God said that His covenant with Abraham would continue with Isaac (Genesis 17:18-19). Isaac had facial features that were identical to Abraham (Rashi commentary, Genesis 25:19). God tested Abraham by asking him to offer Isaac as an offering (see Genesis ch.22); and this readiness for self-sacrifice bestowed a special holiness upon Isaac (Talmud, Yevamot 64). Isaac married Rebecca (Genesis ch.24), his second cousin. Rebecca gave birth to two sons, Esau and Jacob (Genesis ch.25). God spoke to Isaac, confirming His covenant with him (Genesis ch.26). Despite harassment from the Philistines, Isaac enjoyed great success (ibid.). He reopened all the wells which his father had dug and the Philistines had stopped up (ibid.). The king of the Philistines, unable to ignore Isaac's phenomenal success, petitioned him to make a mutual treaty of non-aggression (ibid.). In his advanced years, Isaac sought to bless his elder son Esau (Genesis ch.27). Rebecca took pains to thwart this and to ensure that Jacob would receive the blessing, since she had learned through prophecy (Genesis 25:23) that Jacob would be more favored by God. Later it became apparent that Isaac admitted Rebecca's having done the right thing, since he blessed Jacob again (Genesis 28:1-4) even after he found out what had happened (see Genesis 27:6-16). Isaac sent Jacob to the ancestral family seat in Mesopotamia to choose a wife (Genesis ch.28). Though Jacob didn't return for over twenty years (Genesis 31:38), God granted Isaac extra years, so that he lived on for two decades after Jacob's return. Isaac was buried next to his father Abraham (Genesis 49:31).
