Newton is my Freaking role model, Let me go down the list of things he did.
-Discovered and mathematically proved gravity
-founder of the known basic laws of Physics
-Founder on much of Optics and wrote a book about it
-wrote the
Pricipia-Invented Calculus(Differential at least, and don't tell me Liebniez did because they technically both invented it independantly with out knowledge of each others work.)
-
Nearly Discovered Electricity
-Built the Reflecting telescope
-was master of the mint for England and totally re-did the English currency system, and he effectivly tracked down and put to justice multiple counterfeiters.
-If He had lived like 50 more years he probably would have set the foundation for Quantum physics too I think. After all he had believed that light moved as a wave and theorized that light was also a particle.
-He also Proved that the moon and sun are what affect the tides of the Ocean.
It is thanks to his laws and equations he formed nearly 300 years ago that allow our Shuttles and satelites to be put into orbit.
Yeah I read(and watched) a Biography on him soooo.....yeah.

Something about STring Theory?
Anyone know anything about this?
Well I know a little of it....basically it's saying that there are extremely small(and boy do I mean small) "rings" that compose everything and determine demention. In relations to this and gravity, think of a plane to be our universe and that these "rings" become sort of like arches that are connected on both sides to the plane our dimension. Gravity, in comparsion to other forces, is very weak, and it's thought that this is true because gravity is not tethered down onto our dimension, and that gravity can move freely between dimensions so long as it's not attatched to mass. It's weird and hard to Explain....but that's the best I can put it.....
