Newton’s laws, theories, and conclusions were incredibly influential in the scientific and mathematic community. Though Kepler laid the groundwork for research and discovery that would be done in the future, it was Newton who refined his work to formulate many of the laws that we still hold to be true today. Newton’s experiments provided the rationale for why the planets and cosmic bodies move and interacte in the ways that they do as outlined by Kepler’s laws (https://www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/mdyar/ast223/orbits/orb_lect.html (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.). Newton’s accurate and precise formulas won him teaching positions, knighthood, and a spot on the list of names burned into the history of science forever (http://galileoandeinstein.physics.virginia.edu/lectures/newton.html (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.). But while these achievements were imperative to furthering work by scientists …show more content…

Newton’s research simply adds a clearer formula to the process of cause-and-effect that we observe as humans every single day. Perhaps it gives a
