The Mid 1600's Show through to today: A news Article

Thank you for reading this piece! Any feedback concerning points on which to improve, especially areas of the general voice, are welcome. I was hoping to employ the voice of a reporter to portray Sir Isaac Newton's achievements and impact upon modern life. Thank you again, and please comment on any problem point.

The Mid 1600's show through to today:

Sir Isaac Newton, born at the Woolsthrope Manor in 1642, has been dead for nearly 275 years. (Christianson, 140-145) The natural philosopher left the Earth that he had studied so diligently with a number of mathematical and scientific achievements to his name. Most of his theories and inventions have been applied by scientists today to create the principles and technology that are the foundation of modern life.
Architects, for example, have since used calculus to measure irregular areas, while engineers could it to design means of transportation, as calculus deals with change and movement. (Krull 68-70) Astronomers and those working for the exploration of outer space would also use the mathematical system, to find orbits of the moons and planets. (Krull 68-70)
It was also Isaac Newton who discovered the cause of ocean tides, and that the Earth is slightly flat at both the North and South Poles. He also found that the area around the equator is slightly swollen. (Christianson, 87-90) This would be valuable knowledge for cartographers and for navigational purposes.
Also among his achievements were his three laws of motion, stating that objects will stay dormant, or in its initial position, until other forces act upon it. Even then it will only travel in a direct line. Then, the object will not travel outward, as it would tend to do, but be pulled inward by the force attracting it. The last law of motion illustrates that the reaction between two objects will be equivalent to each other. (Christianson, 83-86)
Much of what we know and understand today has at least passed through Sir Isaac Newton’s mind. Where would we be as a society, for example, if someone had not perfected and thoroughly explained the scientific method? (Krull, 110-112) Our generation owes much gratitude to the genius who put forth ceaseless effort for the comprehension of nature’s laws.
