Essay / Comparison between Isaac Einstein and Isaac Newton - 839
Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton are two of many intelligent scientists. Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe near Colsterworth, United Kingdom. Although these two men were born in different centuries, they managed to have a conflict that is still discussed today. Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton share many similarities, such as developing a theory about the universe. Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton were both physicists. They shared a concept and a determination to understand the world as it was. Both Einstein and Newton created equations that scientists still use today for many different purposes. Although these two men had many similarities, they had very different views on certain situations. For example, Isaac Newton believed that gravity was a force that acts instantly over any distance. Newton succeeded in unifying heaven and earth thanks to his theory of gravity. Isaac Newton also believed that the Earth was held in orbit because of the Sun's gravity capturing it. Isaac Newton proposed the three laws of motion. The first law of motion is that an object at rest will remain at rest unless it is subjected to an unbalanced force and an object in motion continues its motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless it is not subjected to an unbalanced force. This law is also called the law of inertia. Newton's second law of motion is acceleration and is produced when a force acts on a mass, this means that the greater the mass of the object being accelerated, the greater the force required to accelerate the object is also known as the name of F = m a. F being force m being t...... middle of paper ......the term color spectrum. Although the spectrum appears continuous with no discrete division between the colors of the spectrum, he decided to divide it into seven colors which are, as we know it, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, also known by some as (ROYGBIV). Newton showed that each color had a unique angle of refraction that could be calculated using a specific prism. Isaac Newton saw that all objects appear to be the same color when the beam of colored light shines on them, and the beam of colored light will remain the same color no matter how many times it is reflected or refracted. This led him to conclude that color is indeed a property of light reflected from objects and not a property of the objects themselves. Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton both laid the foundation for much of the science we see today..
