reflecting telescope, and also invented calculus. He published all of this in two books, Principia in 1684, and Opticks in 1704. Principia contains the first unified theory of space, which includes his laws of motion and gravitation. He also mentions his three laws of motion, which are considered to be some of the greatest contributions to all of science. In 1705, Newton was knighted by Queen Anne. He died a bachelor in 1727. Soon after the death of Sir Isaac Newton, a quote he wrote of himself was found in his works. It read: If I have seen further than other men, it is because I have stood upon the shoulders of giants. This shows that even after all he discovered he believed that the scientists before helped pave the way more than he did. Born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany was probably the most renowned scientist in History. Albert Einstein was of both German and Jewish descent, a fact that would later greatly influence his life. He had a typical childhood, showing no genius qualities that he is well known for. He attended public school in Munich and Aarau, but became uninterested in the methods of German education, and would constantly skip school to go into wilderness to read. At age 17, Einstein began an intense study of mathematics at the Swiss Institute of Zurich. He graduated in 1900 and became a patent examiner at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern in 1902. In his free time, he studied scientific observations and in 1905 became a Swiss citizen. The same year, he sent three papers into German Scientific Scientific Periodical, the Annalen der Physik (Annals of Physics), and each became a new branch of physics. He received his first Nobel Prize for physics for the paper in 1922. His second paper, The Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, introduced his Special Theory of Relativity. His third paper was concerned with Brownian motion, which is the behavior of microscopic particles in either a liquid or gas, which later confirmed the a...
