=__//**Newtons Biography**//__= Isaac Newton was born on the 4th of January 1643 and he passed away on the 31st of March 1727 at the age of 84. Newton was an English physiscist, Mathematician, he was also known as a philosopher. Newton observed the world very carefully and set laws about what he saw. These laws are known as Newtons Laws of motion: 1. Law of Inertia 2. F= MxA 3. Action-Reaction

Early Life
Newtons father was a farmer and unfortunately died before his son was born. After his father's death Newtons' mother married another man who became Newtons step father. Newton went to a primary school in Grantham and when he was 18 he started studying natural philosophy. From 1670 to 1672 Newton worked on optics. Newton mainly worked on refraction of light. Newston made his own Reflecting Telescope. He also proved that colored lights do not change colour by separating out a colored Beam and making the colors shine on different objects. Newton also said that colour is the result of objects interacting with already colored lights rather than just the objects making the colour, this is known as Newton's Law of Colour.

**Newton's Three Laws of Motion** 1. Law of Inertia: An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an outside force

An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted on by an outside force. Example: If you have a soccer ball at rest on the ground it will not move unless acted by an outside force/unbalanced force (wind, foot ect)

If you have a soccer ball in motion it will stay in motion unless acted in by an outside force/unbalanced force (goalkeeper, crossbar ect)

2. F= MxA: An outside force/unbalanced force acting on an object causes it to accelerate. Example: 148x2=296 newtons.

3. Action - Reaction: Every action has an equal and opposite Reaction. If you have a balloon the action is the air coming out and the reaction is the ballon flying in every directions until it has no more air.

Philosophiae Naturalis Principa Mathematica
Newtons 3 laws of motion were first published in the book Philosophiae Naturalis Principa Mathematica on the 5th of july 1687 (the book was published in latin). His book was about gravity in such a way so that the world would understand it. Although it is quite a complex book it has helped scientists uncover lots of infomation about the world. The greatest thing about Newton was that he never gave up, All his work was his life.

 * 3) To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while the vast ocean of truth lies undiscovered before me.
 * 4) No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess
 * 5) I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.
