Book Work

WHY?

Each time we move there are forces at play that we may not really be aware of, but they are always present. Only in space is there no friction. This is because there is no air in space to cause friction. Satellites can therefore orbit the earth without stopping. Sir Isaac Newton's contributions to science are far reaching and each of us have a fuller understanding of these forces on earth because of the findings of Newton. Just think, maybe you will discover something new about our natural world that will influence the rest of us. And then you could say like Newton, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants". In this statement Newton was paying a compliment to Galileo and others who made the discoveries on which he was able to build.
