The Man Who Created the Laws of MotionSir Isaac Newton, the man who helped people understand why things move and how they move, had a very interesting life. Early in his life, he faced difficulties and later became an extremely inspiring man. At university, he made many advances through his scientific work, including the laws of physics that we still use today. His life answered many scientific questions that still arise today in physics classrooms around the world. His discoveries have helped people for over 350 years know and understand why things move the way they move and stop the way they stop. Newton's works include the Principia and many other important publications that he began while just in college. Newton's life was full of discoveries, from his days as a miner to the later years when he became an important figure in government and changed the world as we know it today. Sir Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643. in the hamlet of Woolsthorpe, England. He was the only son of a successful farmer also named Isaac Newton.

At the age of 12, he was reunited with his mother Thomas 2 after the death of her second husband. She also brought three children with her. He was soon enrolled at the King's School where he learned to speak Latin but failed to learn mathematics. Newton was taken out of school and sent to Woolsthorpe-b...... middle of paper ...... his discoveries about calculus, gravity and other important principles he discovered, the world we live in would not be the same. Even today, scientists still use the fundamental laws he discovered and are still inspired by the amount of work he accomplished during his life.
