Newton was the first to demonstrate that natural laws govern earthly motion and celestial motion. He is associated with the Scientific Revolution and the advancement of heliocentrism. Newton is also credited with providing mathematical substantiation for Kepler's laws of planetary motion. He would expan...
Newton was the first to promulgate a set of natural laws that could govern both terrestrial motion and celestial motion. He is associated with the scientific revolution and the advancement of heliocentrism. Newton is also credited with providing mathematical substantiation for Kepler's laws of planetar...
I think the answer is three. Each of these is so fundamental that any one of them, had they been discovered by someone else, would have put them in the history books. So, I’ll award Newton three more Nobel Prizes for his fundamental laws, because they are so fundamental. The next th...
