Today is the birthday of Sir Isaac Newton; this is why Google have changed their logo for today. We love how the search engine giant has apples falling from their home

discovering gravity. Many people always ask what were his inventions
and discoveries, with the latter outweighing the former.
Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 and died on March 31, 1727.
He was not tied to just one science he studied alchemy, astronomy,
mathematics, philosophy, physics and theology. It was through is
constant studying as well as sitting under a tree that he discovered
gravity.
Many people would not know that Newton was also an inventor, he did
not have a big list to his name, but would he did invent is still used
today. Sir Isaac Newton invented the first practical reflecting

that period is how he managed to separate unwanted colors.
The curved mirror was already in use, but it was Newton who thought
of using it in his telescope first. We know that Sir Isaac Newton was a
scientific genius, read more about the great man at answersingenesis.org
