Sir Isaac newton discovered and proved the theory of gravitational force and many other contributions to mathematics, optics and physics, but his most import contribution was appointing Francis Hauksbee as curator and instrument maker for the Royal Society. Hauksbee did work with static electricity and electroluminescence and furthered the study and renewed interest in electricity creating the first artificially powered light source strong enough to read by. Without this work and subsequent work by others, Principia would still have to be read by candlelight or oil lamp.
