Isaac Newton

The video explores Isaac Newton's journey from his early experiments with wind to his groundbreaking theory of gravity inspired by a falling apple. It highlights his work on light refraction and his eventual return to gravity, spurred by Edmund Halley's challenge. Newton's development of the 3 Laws of Motion revolutionized our understanding of the universe.

What was the focus of Newton's first experiment at the age of 16?

• The effect of light on colors

• The movement of objects by wind

• The orbit of planets

• The gravitational pull of the moon

What inspired Newton to develop his theory of gravity?

• The orbit of the moon

• The refraction of light

• The falling of an apple

• The movement of planets

What was one of Newton's significant discoveries besides gravity?

• The theory of relativity
