HE GAVE THE WORLD A NEW WAY TO SEE THE UNIVERSE Isaac Newton transformed our understanding of the natural world. From a falling apple, he deduced the laws of gravity, unifying the way planets move, apples fall, and tides flow. His pioneering work went beyond gravity. With keen mathematical insight and dazzling experiments, Newton discovered that light is made of colors and created the branch of mathematics known as calculus. His ideas helped move the world from darkness to a new age of science and reason.
