1642, Newton was born in a village in Lincolnshire, southeast England. He has been fond of reading since he was a child, and he is very diligent, especially fond of handicrafts. He spent all his pocket money on woodworking tools. He made many exquisite windmills, kites, sundials, clepsydra and other practical instruments. 18 years old, Newton entered Trinity College, Cambridge University. At the age of 26, he became a famous professor of mathematics at Cambridge University.

When Newton was young, he paid great attention to observing natural phenomena and asked why everything was in his mind. According to legend, Newton was enjoying the cool under an apple tree one night. Suddenly, an apple fell from the tree and landed right next to him. Newton felt very strange when he saw it. Why do apples fall to the ground instead of flying into the sky? Inspired by the "apple falling to the ground", Newton later discovered the law of universal gravitation through concentrated thinking and research.

The story of Newton, an ancient and modern Chinese and foreign celebrity

There is a young man named isaac newton in England who studies physics. Newton was very good at thinking and often thought deeply about some common phenomena.

One day, he was sitting under an apple tree to rest when a ripe apple fell and hit him on the head. He touched the injured place. At this time, Newton thought of a question: when throwing the ball into the air, why doesn't it always go up and always go down?

Newton picked up the apple and suddenly had a strange idea. Is there an invisible force at work that pulls the apple to the ground? After a long time, Newton finally solved this problem and deduced a formula from it, which is the law of universal gravitation.

(2) extended reading Newton's story:

Sir isaac newton (1643, 65438+10.4-1727, March 3 1), chairman of the Royal Society, a famous British physicist and a generalist on the Internet, has written about the mathematical principles of natural philosophy and optics.

He described gravity and three laws of motion in the paper "Laws of Nature" published by 1687. These descriptions laid the scientific view of the physical world in the next three centuries and became the basis of modern engineering.

By demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's law of planetary motion and his theory of gravity, he showed that the movements of ground objects and celestial bodies all follow the same natural law; It provides strong theoretical support for the sun-centered theory and promotes the scientific revolution.

In mechanics, Newton expounded the conservation principle of momentum and angular momentum and put forward Newton's law of motion. In optics, he invented reflecting telescope, and based on the observation that a prism diverges white light into the visible spectrum, he developed the color theory. He also systematically expressed the cooling law and studied the speed of sound.

In mathematics, Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz shared the honor of developing calculus. He also proved the generalized binomial theorem and put forward Newton's method to approximate the zero point of function, which contributed to the study of power series.

"3" Newton's Growth Story

1, the story of Newton and the windmill

Once, he made a small windmill and took it to school. The students gathered around to watch. Just as a bunch of little guys blinked and envied Newton, a classmate said in a strange voice, "Yo! This windmill is quite clever! "

This classmate is very ironic, because he usually does well in school and has always been above Newton. Seeing Newton performing in front of him, he was not convinced, so he raised his voice and said, "Your little windmill looks good, but why did it turn?" Do you understand this truth? "

Newton couldn't answer for a moment, and his face turned red. That classmate is more energetic: "Hum! Can't say it, poor thing! You can't tell the principle of what you have made yourself, which shows that you are like a carpenter! " Newton was ashamed of his words. He walked away with a sad face.

At this time, a group of small students who once surrounded Newton also looked at him strangely. "Carpenter! Carpenter! I can't even tell the principle, but I'm still showing it here! " When he spoke, some students began to beat his windmill, and others followed suit. Too many cooks smashed Newton's windmill to pieces.

Newton was so sad that tears trickled down his face. Afterwards, he thought carefully: Why did these students bully me? I didn't live up to my expectations? Why don't you make up your mind to learn your lessons well? The night is already deep, and little Newton is still thinking about what happened during the day.

Finally, I made up my mind: I must learn my lessons well. People are ambitious. Since he decided to study hard, little Newton seems to be a different person, listening to the teacher carefully in class. Review your lessons carefully after class, and don't forget his small craft when you are free. It didn't take long for his academic performance to catch up, surpassing the classmate who called him "carpenter" and becoming an excellent student in his class.

2. Newton and his school days

Newton's father died three months before he was born. Two years later, his mother remarried and Newton was raised by his grandmother. At the age of twelve, Newton entered the Royal Middle School with the help of his uncle. However, Newton was not a clever boy at this time. He behaved badly in school and was in poor health. He was silent and daydreaming, and there was hardly anything outstanding.

His superhuman intelligence was awakened by a savage classmate who kicked him unreasonably! He fought with that classmate and won, but the overbearing classmate was far superior to Newton in homework. So Newton decided to study hard and vowed to surpass him in his lessons. As a result, he was not only among the best in the Royal Middle School, but also entered Trinity College of Cambridge University at the age of eighteen.

1665, when Newton finished his bachelor's course at Cambridge University, a terrible plague spread in Europe, so Newton returned to his hometown. In the countryside, Newton analyzed the seven colors of sunlight with a self-made prism and found the difference of the tortuosity of each monochromatic light.

But it is strange that Newton kept his mouth shut about this extraordinary discovery. It turned out that he knew that he was only a college student at that time, and if such a revolutionary discovery was made public, it would definitely offend the professor. As a result, when he was promoted to professor five years later, his previous findings were made public.

3. Lou Southern Yan Dan

Newton, the great physicist, grew up among his grandmother's parents. Grandma loves him very much and often gives him some pocket money after he goes to school at the age of 8. Little Newton bought candy instead of toys. He saved money to buy a hammer and saw. He likes to use his own brains and make some handmade products.

One day, little Newton happily ran to grandma and said, "grandma, look at this!" " "Grandma saw little Newton holding a board with a nail in the middle and radioactive lines painted around it. Grandma asked, "What is this? "

"Sun Zhong. You can see which line the sun casts the shadow of the nail. " "Who taught you to do it?" "I came up with it myself!" Little Newton answered proudly.

After Newton grew up, he kept the spirit of daring to imagine and think. He discovered the law of universal gravitation and successfully obtained many scientific research results.

4. Newton and Apple

There is a young man named isaac newton in England who studies physics. Newton was very good at thinking and often thought deeply about some common phenomena. One day, he was sitting under an apple tree to rest when a ripe apple fell and hit him on the head.

He touched the injured place. At this time, Newton thought of a question: when throwing the ball into the air, why doesn't it always go up and always go down? Newton picked up the apple and suddenly had a strange idea. Is there an invisible force at work that pulls the apple to the ground? After a long time, Newton finally solved this problem and deduced a formula from it, which is the law of universal gravitation.

5. Newton and sun clock

Newton was weak when he was young, and his academic performance was not good. He was often bullied by other students. Once, several classmates pushed him too hard, and he suddenly got up the courage to resist. From then on, no one dared to bully him. He secretly made up his mind to surpass other students in study and not be looked down upon. Thanks to his efforts, all his subjects, especially mathematics, have become the best in his class.

As a teenager, Newton liked to make toys and gadgets. His lanterns and kites are exquisite, and his kites fly higher than those sold in shops. It is said that he once made a water clock.

He drew even horizontal lines on the wall of the bucket, so that the water in the bucket dripped outward from the bottom of the bucket and the water surface kept falling. According to the graduation line, water drops come out, which is just noon. This clock is similar to the ancient clepsydra in China.

Newton's "sun clock" is said to be painted on a board with an iron nail in the middle. In the sun, you can read the time by looking at which line the shadow of your nails coincides with. This "sun clock" is similar to the ancient sundial in China.
