Let me give you a spoiler alert. Issac Newton IS NOT GOD!!! He was a mere human, just like you. There are some people that would disagree with that cookie. There's Louis Pastour,Blaaise Pascal,Erwin Schodunger, G.Marconi, and some others.
That's funny. I learned in my initial Physics class at Colorado State University, in 1962, these three laws:
1. An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force;
2. The force on an object is proportional to it's acceleration; and
3. NEWTON IS GOD!!
"There are some people who would disagree..." So? What's your point here? It is Newton, without whose experimentations and thoughtful work, and development of the caluculus, mankind would never have achieved the atomic bomb.
Alexander Pope:
“Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night:
God said, Let Newton be! and all was light.”
By the by, you do understand that when Newton proclaimed that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion, UNLESS ACTED UPON BY AN OUTSIDE FORCE, he meant to show that objects just don't go flying off the shelves, all by themselves, or with the help of poltergeists, etc. He, and the other nascent scientists were attempting to differentiate between "natural" magic, and "supernatural" magic.
Did you know, that because Galileo ran into "difficulties" with the Church, Newton held off publishing his "Principia Mathematica", thinking he could avoid any displeasure from religious leaders. And then Leibniz published his own methods of "differentiation', causing a feud between the two, as to who had first discovered the calculus.
But you don't know all those things, do you?
