"Isaac Newton (1642-1726/1727), the legendary English mathematician, is renowned for his groundbreaking work in physics, particularly his laws of motion and universal gravitation. His insights paved the way for the Industrial Revolution, as seen in this drawing of Matthew Murray's locomotive steam engine. Newton's scientific discoveries also extended to optics, as evidenced by the "crucial experiment" drawing in the MS. New Coll 361 / 2 fol. 45v. Fast forward to the modern era, and Newton's influence is still felt in advanced technologies like Russian rocket engines. His fundamental concept of a unit of force, the newton, is still the standard today. Here's a visual comparison of one kilogram mass exerting a force in air and water, illustrating the difference in weight. [Image 1 of 2: One kilogram mass in air] [Image 2 of 2.
