Review: Sir Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer regarded by many as the greatest figure in the history of science."When Newton saw an apple fall, he found, in that slight startle from his contemplation, ‘tis said, a mode of proving that the earth turn’d round in a most natural whirl, called gravitation; and this is the sole mortal who could grapple, since Adam, with a fall, or with an apple."
Alexander Pope's famous epitaph on newton
"Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night;
God said "Let Newton be" and all was light."
