Isaac Newton laid the blueprints for his three laws of motion, still recited by physics students, in 1666. Credit: Library of Congress Isaac Netwon is synonymous with apples and gravity.
Newton's Laws of Motion There was this fellow in England named Sir Isaac Newton. A little bit stuffy, bad hair, but quite an intelligent guy. He worked on developing calculus and physics at the same time. During his work, he came up with the three basic ideas that are applied to the physics of most motion (NOT modern physics). The ideas have been tested and verified so many times over the years, that scientists now call them Newton's Three Laws of Motion. First Law The first law says that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion, with the same direction and speed.
