Sir Isaac Newton is considered one of the most influential scientists in history. He formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, which have withstood rigorous testing for over 300 years. His theory of color and reflection, which contrasted with that of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (another famous scientist), set the stage for the modern understanding of light and color. Newton also made important contributions to the development of calculus, optics, fluid dynamics and celestial mechanics.

Great Mind
Isaac Newton was a physicist and mathematician who developed the principles of modern physics, including the laws of motion, and is credited as one of the great minds of the 17th-century Scientific Revolution.
Newton made significant contributions to mathematics through his work on calculus. He published Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1687 : The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy (often shortened to simply Principia) is an influential work in physics written by English polymath Isaac Newton during his years at Cambridge University between 1669 and 1687. It laid out his mathematical theory explaining gravity which later became known as Newton’s law of universal gravitation. His three laws form one unified system that describes how bodies act on each other regardless of whether they are mobile or not, obeying them leads us towards understanding how everything around us works!
Inventor of Telescope
Newton built the first practical reflecting telescope and developed a theory of color based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many colors that form the visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound.
Newton’s mathematical skills were so great that he was able to prove that Kepler’s second law of planetary motion was true, even though it contradicted Aristotelean physics at the time.
His work on optics led him to discover prisms, which made it possible for him to observe how light is reflected by these thin pieces (and prevent them from breaking).
Priory of Sions – The Secret Society
Priory of Sions (or Prieuré de Sion) was a fraternal organization founded in France in 1956 by Pierre Plantard in his failed attempt to create a prestigious neo-chivalric order. In the 1960s, Plantard began claiming that his self-styled order was the latest front for a secret society founded by crusading knight Godfrey of Bouillon, on Mount Zion in the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1099, under the guise of the historical monastic order of the Abbey of Our Lady of Mount Zion. As a framework for his grandiose assertion of being both the Great Monarch prophesied by Nostradamus and a Merovingian pretender, Plantard further claimed the Priory of Sion was engaged in a centuries-long benevolent conspiracy to install a secret bloodline of the Merovingian dynasty on the thrones of France and the rest of Europe.
It had illustrious Grand Masters including Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton.
