Sir Isaac Newton was one of the most influential scientists to ever walk the earth. He was born in England in 1643. He studied at Cambridge, and is most famously known for his work on calculus, the nature of light, and his calculations on the movement of celestial bodies. Arguably his most famous contribution came in the field of physics, where Newton proposed the three laws of motion still taught in schools today, and also proposed the idea of universal gravity. Throughout his extraordinary life, Newton also discovered that white light was actually a composition of all the colors of light on the visible spectrum. Later in life, Newton served as the president of the Royal Society of London. Following the Gregorian calendar, Newton died on March 31, 1727. Despite suffering from various illnesses’ later in life, his death was determined to have occurred due to natural causes. Following his death, Newton was buried in Westminster Abbey where his body resides today.
Hope this helps.
