6 Read the information about one of the most famous scientists in physics.
Guess the name and fill it in the last line gap in the text.
He was born in 1642 and died in 1727, which is almost three hundred years ago, but his name is still familiar to everyone who has ever been to school.
He is well known for the «apple story».
Nobody knows for sure but it’s widely believed that the story describes how gravitational force was discovered and also identified as the force which acts on every object on the Earth.
This person is often called the «father» of physics, but like most talented people, he established himself in other sciences as well.
Along with being a great physicist, he was also a distinguished mathematician and chemist.
He studied history and chronology, and made a profound impact on optics, astronomy and philosophy. Being a University Professor and Member of Parliament, he led quite an active and intense life. In 1705 he was awarded with the title of the «Knight» and so added «Sir» to his name. However, nobody inherited his title as he never got married and never had a family. He was buried in Westminster Abbey. People who see his tomb there can also see Alexander Pope’s words carved on the tomb which say:
Nature and Nature’s laws lay hid in night: God said, «Let Newton be!» and all was light.
