Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton's Life
By:Alfred Rupert Hall
Isaac Newton was a scientist in the 1700s. He investigated the refraction of light by a glass prism. He discovered "measurable, mathematical patterns in the phenomenon of color". He went to the college of Cambridge where he studied mathematics. In 1704 Newton made a theory that white light is mixed with all different colors. Newton wouldn't tell any other scientist what he was doing because he didn't want them stealing his idea. Isaac Newton invented what we know as calculus when he entered Cambridge College. People also know him for discovering gravity. There was a story when Isaac Newton was sitting under a tree he found out about gravity. This story is about an apple that fell from a tree and that is how he discovered gravity. In my opinion, I think that if Isaac Newton never figured out and discovered gravity that we would not know as much as we do know today.
