3. Hello Czerny here. I would like to
thank you all for your time. As you
may know, I am the Reporter in this
group activity, I look forward
discussing about Sir Isaac Newton
today.
4. Sir Isaac Newton is an
English scientist and
mathematician. He was
born in 1642, on the 25th
of December in the little
village of Woolsthorpe in
England. His father was a
wealthy farmer but he
had died before Isaac was
born.
5. Newton's childhood
was anything but
happy,and throughout
his life he verged on
emotional collapse,
occasionally falling
into violent and
vindictive attacks
against friend and foe
alike.
6. In 1665 Newton
took his
bachelor's
degree at
Cambridge
without honors
or distinction.
7. In 1665-1666, Newton performed a
number of experiments on the
composition of light. Guided initially
by the writings of Kepler and
Descartes, Newton's main discovery
was that visible (white) light is
heterogeneous--that is, white light is
composed of colors that can be
considered primary. Through a
brilliant series of experiments,
Newton demonstrated that prisms
separate rather than modify white
light. Contrary to the theories of
Aristotle and other ancients, Newton
held that white light is secondary and
heterogeneous, while the separate
colors are primary and
homogeneous.
8. With his mother's return to Woolsthorpe in 1653, Newton
was taken from school to fulfill his birthright as a farmer.
Happily, he failed in this calling, and returned to King's
School at Grantham to prepare for entrance to Trinity
College, Cambridge. But the turning point in Newton's life
came in June 1661 when he left Woolsthorpe for Cambridge
University. Here Newton entered a new world, one he could
eventually call his own.
9. In Book III, subtitled the System of the
World, Newton extended his three laws of
motion to the frame of the world, finally
demonstrating 'that there is a power of
gravity tending to all bodies, proportional to
the several quantities of matter which they
contain.
10. The two years he spent there were an
extremely fruitful time: he made his
three great discoveries — the
discoveries of the differential calculus,
of the nature of white light, and of the
law of gravitation.
11. In 1687 Newton published
his greatest work
“Mathematical Principles of
Natural Philosophy”, which
showed how a universal
force, gravity, applied to all
objects in all parts of the
universe.
12. In 1696, with the help of
Charles Montague, a fellow of
Trinity and later earl of Halifax,
Newton was appointed Warden
and then Master of the Mint.
His new position proved 'most
proper,' and he left Cambridge
for London without regret.
13. His last decades were passed
in revising his major works,
polishing his studies of
ancient history, and defending
himself against critics, as well
as carrying out his official
duties.
14. He died in London on March 20, 1727
(March 31, New Style).
He never married and lived
modestly, but was buried with great
pomp in Westminster Abbey.
15. Newton published an edition of Geographia
generalis by the German geographer Varenius in
1672. His own letters on optics appeared in print
from 1672 to 1676. Then he published nothing until
the Principia (published in Latin in 1687; revised in
1713 and 1726; and translated into English in 1729).
This was followed by Opticks in 1704; a revised
edition in Latin appeared in 1706. Posthumously
published writings include The Chronology of
Ancient Kingdoms Amended (1728), The System of
the World (1728), the first draft of Book III of the
Principia, and Observations upon the Prophecies of
Daniel and the Apocalypse of St John (1733).
16. Every body continues in its state of rest, or uniform motion in a straight
line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on
it (inertia).
17. The change in motion is
proportional to the motive force
impressed and is made in the
direction of the straight line in
which that force is impressed
(F = ma)
19. Newton’s understanding of God came primarily from the
Bible, which he studied for days and weeks at a time. He
took special interest in miracles and prophecy,
calculating dates of Old Testament books and analyzing
their texts to discover their authorship. In a manuscript on
rules for interpreting prophecy, Newton noted the similar
goals of the scientist and the prophecy expositor:
simplicity and unity. He condemned the “folly of
interpreters who foretell times and things by prophecy,”
since the purpose of prophecy was to demonstrate God’s
providence
20. “It is the perfection of all God’s works that
they are done with the greatest simplicity
… And therefore, as they that would
understand the frame of the world must
endeavor to reduce their knowledge
[science] to all possible simplicity, so it
must be in seeking to understand these
[prophetic] visions.”
21. “The true God is a living, intelligent and
powerful Being … He governs all things,
and knows all things that are or can be
done.”
Atheism is so senseless. When I look at
the solar system, I see the earth at the
right distance from the sun to receive the
proper amounts of heat and light. This did
not happen by chance.
