These guys did more with science than just memorize it....
You should too.
Isaac Newton (1643-1727)
Newton is the Father of modern physics. He discovered the universal laws of motion and gravitation and introduced a revolutionary new theory of light.
Along the way, he discovered calculus and established himself as one of the greatest mathematicians in history.
The inductive method by which he made his discoveries led to an explosion of discovery, making possible the modern life we live today.
