Yo yo yo! Ok I don't like that
intro... how about a simple hi. Hello! Okay... That’s better! So, this week, we
are talking about something that will help you in the future. Do you know?
Well, obviously my class knows... And all of you that read the title....
Anyways, guess what we are talking about?! Isaac Newton!
Isaac Newton had an extremely hard
childhood. Most of his life was consisted of living without parents.
A couple months after he was born, his father died. :( Sad… And what didn't
help the fact was that his mother left him when he was three. She left him for
an older guy whom she had married to. He had moved in with his grandparents and
lived his childhood with them, until he had enrolled for college.
During his years in college, his mother
randomly came back into his life telling him to come home and work on the farm.
He had listened to his mother, but didn’t like it, so he went back to college.
Sorry to get off topic, but nobody should leave a child, then randomly pop back
in his life expecting him to listen to her every need. That is jut not supposed
to happen… Sorry… Back to science… So, he went back to college (Cambridge). If
you want to know more about Sir Isaac Newton *I don’t feel like sitting here
for weeks typing all about his life. He went through a lot…*, look either here
or here.
For starters, he was an extremely smart
man. He was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and a natural
philosopher. I know… that’s a lot… But he managed for it all to work. One of
his accomplishments was that he defined the laws of gravity. Cool, right? Well,
different sources say different things. You will know him by the person who
discovered something dealing with science by having an apple fall on his head.
Or maybe he saw it fall, but who knows. But after he saw the apple fall… It
just randomly popped into his head. If the apple fall like that what is the force
of the whole universe like? Okay, not like that. It had actually made sense….
Moving on.
Another thing he did was that he defined
the laws of motion. You might’ve heard of them as the Three Newton’s Laws. The
first law is “An object at rest will remain
at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues
in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force.” This is called the “Law of Inertia”. The second law of
motion is “Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater
the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force
needed (to accelerate the object).” And lastly, the third law of motion is “For
every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.
Of course, the sky isn’t even the limit
for him. He goes on and creates something all high-school students will hate
him for… Calculus. I know, I'm not very happy with it either, but it made a
huge difference in the world of mathematics. Then, he decided that this wasn’t
enough and wanted to do more. So, he went ahead and proved everyone wrong on
the fact that light was the color white. He had discovered that is was made
with seven different colors. Cool, right?!
This obviously wasn’t enough for him, so
he went ahead and invented some more things. He invented a reflecting
telescope. What it did was if would have reflecting objects in it so you would
see the color better, and not faintly. All of this stuff was amazing to
everyone. He influenced the body of the Royal Observatory, and then he went
ahead and was selected as president until death. I found that completely
amazing.
Now, when I was researching him, I found some
interesting facts I’d like to share with you!
1. He
dies the same day as my friends birthday. (May 31st, 1727)
2. He
was buried in Westminster Abbey, which is an extremely huge honor, because very
little people were buried there.
3. When
he was bron, he was born premature. At the time, premature babies rarely
survived.
4. He
was extremely religious.
Did you like my blog about the amazing
Sir Isaac Newton? I feel extremely
unaccomplished now! :( Tell me your
feedback please! I would love to know
what you thought of this!
Thanks for reading everyone! <3
