Isaac Newton-The person who discovers GRAVITY

Isaac Newton(1642-1727) was the first person who discovered Gravity.He was a mathematician and physicist.He never married and lived modestly for his whole life.

He was born in 1642, at Woolsthorpe,a place near Grantham in Lincolnshire,where he attended Cambridge University in 1661. He remained at the university,lecturing in most years,until 1696.

In 1664,he discovered the refraction of light by a glass prism and the measurable,mathematical patterns in the phenomenon of colour.

Around 1665 to 1666,he discovered gravitational force when he saw an apple dropped in his orchard,which, he conceived the same force governed the moon and the apple.He worked together with his friend Edmond Halley,who wrote the books Principia.Isaac Newton died in 1727 and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
