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.

Sir Isaac Newton's greatest contribution to science was the discovery of the nature of gravity, laws of motion and the reflecting microscope. His most recognized work was the force of gravity. He discovered this when observing the falling of an apple from its tree.
