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]]).
