Isaac Newton was an English [[scientist]] who lived from 1634 to 1727.  He was a physicist, astronomer, mathematician, alchemist and natural philosopher.  He is probably best known for his [[Theory of Universal Gravitation]] and his [[Laws of Motion]].  He also developed [[calculus]] simultaneously with German physicist [[Gottfried Leibniz]]. (Each accused the other of plagiarism, but neither could prove it.<ref>Newton Biography[http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Newton.html]</ref>).  In addition, he invented the reflecting [[telescope]], and made numerous other contributions to his fields of study.

Newton was the first to demonstrate that the same laws that govern the motion of celestial objects also govern the motion of things on [[Earth]].  Newton contributed greatly to the advancement of science.  His work also advanced the concept of [[heliocentrism]] (the view that the [[Sun]] is at the center of the [[solar system]]).
