Sir Isaac Newton's contribution to today's society is immeasurable. The addition of science in to the popular discourse has done so much to advance humanity. The invention of the telescope and all Newton's impact on science and mathematics is still referenced in 2018. Perhaps the technology and theories have progressed and been improved upon. still the switch from conjecture to actual scientific experimentation and theory is a profound shift that not only lingers but shapes the world as we know it. I read Newton's introduction to my child. When she heard that there was an explanation as to why the sky is blue, she was beyond curious. The fact that I was able to give her concrete information, however watered down it may have been, is what some used to call a miracle. We no longer have to believe in miracles because science is better! The existence of science as opposed to random conjecture ensures that there will be a way to find answers. Newton's great care in using the telescope to break down why the sky was blue furthered Roger Bacon's Scientific theory, whether he knew it or not. Without great minds asking great questions we would be a world without creativity and invention.
