Sir Isaac Newton PRS MP (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist and theologian, who has been considered by many to be the greatest and most influential scientist who ever lived. His monograph Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, laid the foundations for most of classical mechanics. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Newton showed that the motion of objects on Earth and that of celestial bodies is governed by the same set of natural laws: by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation he removed the last doubts about heliocentrism and advanced the scientific revolution. The Principia is generally considered to be one of the most important scientific books ever written, both due to the specific physical laws the work successfully described, and for its style, which assisted in setting standards for scientific publication down to the present time.
Newton built the first practical reflecting telescope and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many colours that form the visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound. In mathematics, Newton shares the credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the development of differential and integral calculus. He generalised the binomial theorem to non-integer exponents, developed Newton's method for approximating the roots of a function, and contributed to the study of power series.

I don't normally see much need to respond to your posts, Goofus, as you're such a cock, but in this instance I thought I'd (admittedly idly: one's time can so easily evaporate, arguing in the presence of such intransigent and capricious eejits as your good self) just paste this opening section of the wiki entry on Newton. Now if you see anything there that diminishes the almost-undisputed (except, apparently, by "Guffo-the-Cock") reputation of Newton as one of the most important and pivotal figures in the history of science, then let's be having it, old chum.

As it appears to be your wont to contradict everything I say, let me put this to you in an effort to tempt you into continuing the practice: "Guffo is not a prize cock".
