Isaac Newton

(1642-1727)

All of the scientific discoveries made by men like Copernicus, Kepler, and Galilei had to be united in one all-embracing principle which would explain the motion of bodies in the heavens and present the universe as one great machine operating according to unalterable laws. This was the feat of the most illustrious scientist of the Age of Reason, Isaac Newton. In 1687 Newton published his momentous work, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, in which all laws of motion, in the heavens and on the earth, were harmonized in a master principle for the universe, the law of gravitation.
