Sir Isaac Newton (When two forces unite, their efficiency double)

Sir Isaac Newton ( 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27) was an English physicist, mathematician and natural philosopher, who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution. His book Philosophic Naturalise Principia Mathematica ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first published in 1687, laid the foundations for classical mechanics. Newton made seminal contributions to optics, and he shares credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for the development of calculus.
