He built the first reflecting telescope, which used a curved mirror to focus light, offering several advantages over traditional telescopes.

They describe how objects move and interact with forces, forming the basis for much of classical mechanics. His discovery of the law of universal gravitation was inspired by the famous incident of an apple falling from a tree. Newton realized that the same force causing the apple to fall also governs the motion of the moon and planets, leading him to formulate the universal law of gravitation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Also Read \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/biography\/narendra-modi-biography\/\">Narendra Modi Biography<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/biography\/n-chandrababu-naidu-biography\/\"><span class=\"post post-post current-item\">N chandrababu Naidu Biography<\/span><\/a><span class=\"post post-post current-item\"> | <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/biography\/parkash-singh-badal-biography\/\">Parkash Singh Badal Biography<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Isaac_Newton_Biography_-_Later_Life_and_Legacy\"><\/span>Isaac Newton Biography &#8211; Later Life and Legacy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Isaac Newton&#8217;s impact extended beyond science.
