Sir Isaac Newton (/ ˈ nj uː t ən /; 4 January [O.S. 25 December] 1643 – 31 March [O.S. 20 March] 1727) [a] was an English polymath active as a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author. [5] Newton was a key figure in the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment that followed. [6]
Isaac Newton's apple tree at Woolsthorpe Manor [1] [2] represents the inspiration behind Sir Isaac Newton's theory of gravity.While the precise details of Newton's reminiscence (reported by several witnesses to whom Newton allegedly told the story) are impossible to verify, the significance of the event lies in its explanation of Newton's scientific thinking.
Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (English: The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), [1] often referred to as simply the Principia (/ p r ɪ n ˈ s ɪ p i ə, p r ɪ n ˈ k ɪ p i ə /), is a book by Isaac Newton that expounds Newton's laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation.
Newtonian telescope design. A Newtonian telescope is composed of a primary mirror or objective, usually parabolic in shape, and a smaller flat secondary mirror.The primary mirror makes it possible to collect light from the pointed region of the sky, while the secondary mirror redirects the light out of the optical axis at a right angle so it can be viewed with an eyepiece.
Bubur kacang hijau, abbreviated burjo, is a Southeast Asian sweet porridge (bubur) made from mung beans (kacang hijau), coconut milk, and palm sugar or cane sugar. The beans are boiled till soft, and sugar and coconut milk are added. [1] [2] Slightly different names may be used in different regions of Indonesia, such as kacang ijo in Javanese ...
The Newton scale is a temperature scale devised by Isaac Newton in 1701. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] He called his device a " thermometer ", but he did not use the term "temperature", speaking of "degrees of heat" ( gradus caloris ) instead.
The La Palma INT is a Cassegrain telescope, with a 2.54 m (100 in) diameter primary mirror and a focal length of 8.36 m (329 in). The mirror weighs 4361 kg (9614 lb), and is supported by a polar disc/fork type equatorial mounting.
Raphson was probably baptised at St John the Baptist, Pinner in the 1660s.. Very little is known about Raphson's life. Connor and Robertson give his date of birth as 1668 based on a 1691 book review giving his age as 22; [1] [2] mathematical historian Florian Cajori preferred dates around 1648–1715. [1]
