We think it is natural for an object to fall. But do we think what is the truth behind that nature? One thought that was how the world learned about Earth's gravity. The great discovery was made by the selfless scientist 'Sir' Isaac Newton. Newton was born on Christmas Day (December-25) 1642 to an average peasant family in England. Initially he did not concentrate well in his studies. But once he got a glimpse of a boy older than him who mocked him, he gained confidence and started studying well.

From childhood, Newton was passionate about science. At an early age he built a clock that worked in water. He was forced to drop out of school at the age of fourteen due to family poverty. Knowing Newton's desire for education, his uncle admitted him to Trinity College of the famous Cambridge University when he was young. Newton graduated with honors in 1665. There are not so many references to his university days. But within two years of his graduation, his scientific brain began to function at an exponential rate. He invented various elements of modern mathematics. He invented parts of modern mathematics like generalized binomial theorem, infinitesimal calculus.

He devised methods for finding the area of ​​curved objects and the volume of solid objects. Once he was walking in his (Wools Thorpe) garden when he saw an apple falling from a tree. It was a scene that every observer before Newton would have seen in their time. But thinking it was natural, he thought about it instead of leaving it alone. Newton hypothesized that some invisible force was causing the apple to fall toward the earth. He was right. All objects in the world fall down because of the force of gravity. It is a fact we now know that we also walk without floating. Newton's great achievement was to discover it.

In 1667, at the age of 25, Newton was appointed professor of physics at Trinity College. He was awarded an honorary degree at Trinity College. He spent the next few years full-time in various researches. He studied the nature of light and focused on developing telescopes. In one year he also built a telescope. Through it he could see the moons of Jupiter Gol. Even today's modern high-powered telescopes are based on Newton's first telescope. In 1669, Newton became professor of accounting at Trinity College. He was subsequently inducted into the prestigious Royal Society.
