Sir Isaac Newton is born
Through out his life Newton had many great theroies and ideas but his most impressive thoery was his laws of motion.
1.Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
2.The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma.
3.For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The second law is the most impressive. -
Newton publishes theroy of gravity
every particle in the universe exerts a force on every other particle along the line joining their centers. The magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two particles, and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them. This was important because it changed the way people thought about science. -
John Locke publishes Natural rights
Locke wrote and developed the philosophy that there was no legitimate government under the divine right of kings theory. The Divine Right of Kings theory, as it was called, asserted that God chose some people to rule on earth in his will. Therefore, whatever the monarch decided was the will of God. When you criticized the ruler, you were in effect challenging God. This was a very powerful philosophy for the existing ruler. But, Locke did not believe in that and wrote his theory to challenge it.
