Regarded as one of the most important scientists of all time, was born on 4th January 1642 in England. At school he was more interested in making mechanical devices than studying. He worked out how the universe was held together, discovered the secrets of lights and colour and invented calculus. Newton did most of this work on his own. In 1665, he began to study the nature of light after a series of experiments he was able to prove that white was made up of a rainbow like spectrum of colours. Newton realised that every star and planet in the Universe exerts an attracting force- gravity- which pulls neighbouring bodies towards it. In 1687, he published one of his most important books Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy). The book contains Newton's work on the laws of motion, theory of tides and theory of gravitation. An English physicist, natural philosopher and mathematician died on March 31, 1727 in Kensington, London, United Kingdom.
