牛顿(Isaac Newton,1643―1727)
爵士，英国皇家学会会长，近代科学史上一位伟大的数学家、物理学家、天文学家以及物理学家，百科全书式的“全才”，被誉为“近代物理学之父”，著有《自然哲学的数学原理》，该书是牛顿最重要的著作，书中牛顿阐述了其后两百年间都被视作真理的三大运动定律。牛顿使用拉丁单词“gravitas”（沉重）来为现今的引力（gravity）命名，并定义了万有引力定律。

牛顿苹果的传说
1665-1666之间，由于剑桥流行黑热病，学校被迫停学，刚从剑桥拿到学士学位的牛顿也返回了家乡。一天，牛顿正坐在一棵苹果树下看书及思考问题时，有一个苹果落了下来，这一下子启发了牛顿。但后来经专家发现，当时的苹果并没有砸到牛顿。而且牛顿的日记中回忆道，苹果并没有砸到他。这位当时年仅23岁的学生立刻想到，苹果一定是被地球的引力拉下来的，此后，经过多年努力，他终于完成了万有引力定律的阐述、数学证明与公式推导。
