Frases de Isaac Newton
página 4

Isaac Newton foi um astrônomo, alquimista, filósofo natural, teólogo e cientista inglês, mais reconhecido como físico e matemático.

Sua obra, Princípios Matemáticos da Filosofia Natural é considerada uma das mais influentes na história da ciência. Publicada em 1687, esta obra descreve a lei da gravitação universal e as três leis de Newton, que fundamentaram a mecânica clássica. Ao demonstrar a consistência que havia entre o sistema por si idealizado e as leis de Kepler do movimento dos planetas, foi o primeiro a demonstrar que os movimentos de objetos, tanto na Terra como em outros corpos celestes, são governados pelo mesmo conjunto de leis naturais. O poder unificador e profético de suas leis era centrado na revolução científica, no avanço do heliocentrismo e na difundida noção de que a investigação racional pode revelar o funcionamento mais intrínseco da natureza.

Newton construiu o primeiro telescópio refletor operacional e desenvolveu a teoria das cores baseada na observação que um prisma decompõe a luz branca em várias cores do espectro visível. Ele também formulou uma lei empírica de resfriamento e estudou a velocidade do som. Além de seu trabalho em cálculo infinitesimal, como matemático Newton contribuiu para o estudo das séries de potências, generalizou o teorema binomial para expoentes não inteiros, e desenvolveu o método de Newton para a aproximação das raízes de uma função, além de muitas outras contribuições importantes. Newton também dedicou muito de seu tempo ao estudo da alquimia e da cronologia bíblica, mas a maior parte de seu trabalho nessas áreas permaneceu não publicada até muito tempo depois de sua morte.

Em uma pesquisa promovida pela Royal Society, Newton foi considerado o cientista que causou maior impacto na história da ciência.

De personalidade sóbria, fechada e solitária, para ele a função da ciência era descobrir leis universais e enunciá-las de forma precisa e racional. Wikipedia

Citações de verdade de Isaac Newton

“Platão é meu amigo; Aristóteles é meu amigo — mas meu melhor amigo é a verdade.”
Amicus Plato — amicus Aristoteles — magis amica veritas

Quaestiones Quaedam Philosophicae [Certain Philosophical Questions] (c. 1664)

“Eu não sei como eu posso parecer ao mundo, mas para mim, eu pareço ser apenas como uma criança brincando na beira do mar, divertindo-me e encontrando um seixo mais liso ou uma concha mais bonita do que o ordinário, enquanto o grande oceano da verdade permanece todo indescoberto diante de mim.”

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
"Memoirs of the Life, Writings, and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton" (1855) por Sir David Brewster (Volume II. Ch. 27).

Isaac Newton: Frases em inglês

Cited in Rules for methodizing the Apocalypse, Rule 9, from a manuscript published in The Religion of Isaac Newton (1974) by Frank E. Manuel, p. 120, as quoted in Socinianism And Arminianism : Antitrinitarians, Calvinists, And Cultural Exchange in Seventeenth-Century Europe (2005) by Martin Mulsow, Jan Rohls, p. 273.
As quoted in God in the Equation : How Einstein Transformed Religion (2002) by Corey S. Powell, p. 29

“This most beautiful System of the Sun, Planets and Comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being.”

Isaac Newton livro Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica

Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687), Scholium Generale (1713; 1726)
Fonte: The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy
Contexto: This most beautiful System of the Sun, Planets and Comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being. And if the fixed Stars are the centers of other like systems, these being form'd by the like wise counsel, must be all subject to the dominion of One; especially, since the light of the fixed Stars is of the same nature with the light of the Sun, and from every system light passes into all the other systems. And lest the systems of the fixed Stars should, by their gravity, fall on each other mutually, he hath placed those Systems at immense distances one from another.

“To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction”

Isaac Newton livro Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica

Laws of Motion, III
Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687)
Contexto: To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction; or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.

“Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.”

“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”

Letter to Robert Hooke (15 February 1676) [dated as 5 February 1675 using the Julian calendar with March 25th rather than January 1st as New Years Day, equivalent to 15 February 1676 by Gregorian reckonings.] A facsimile of the original is online at The digital Library https://digitallibrary.hsp.org/index.php/Detail/objects/9792. The quotation is 7-8 lines up from the bottom of the first page. The phrase is most famous as an expression of Newton's but he was using a metaphor which in its earliest known form was attributed to Bernard of Chartres by John of Salisbury: Bernard of Chartres used to say that we [the Moderns] are like dwarves perched on the shoulders of giants [the Ancients], and thus we are able to see more and farther than the latter. And this is not at all because of the acuteness of our sight or the stature of our body, but because we are carried aloft and elevated by the magnitude of the giants. Modernized variants: If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Variante: If I have seen further it is by standing on ye sholders of Giants.

“We must believe in one God that we may love & fear him. We must believe that he is the father Almighty, or first author of all things by the almighty power of his will, that we may thank & worship him & him alone for our being and for all the blessings of this life < insertion from f 43v > We must believe that this is the God of moses & the Jews who created heaven & earth & the sea & all things therein as is expressed in the ten commandments, that we may not take his name in vain nor worship images or visible resemblances nor have (in our worship) any other God then him. For he is without similitude he is the invisible God whom no eye hath seen nor can see, & therefore is not to be worshipped in any visible shape. He is the only invisible God & the only God whom we are to worship & therefore we are not to worship any visible image picture likeness or form. We are not forbidden to give the name of Gods to Angels & Kings but we are forbidden to worship them as Gods. For tho there be that are called Gods whether in heaven or in earth (as there are Gods many & Lords many) yet to us there is but one God the Father of whom are all things & we in him & our Lord Jesus Christ by whom are all things & we in him, that is, but one God & one Lord in our worship: One God & one mediator between God & man the man Christ Jesus. We are forbidden to worship two Gods but we are not forbidden to worship one God, & one Lord: one God for creating all things & one Lord for redeeming us with his blood. We must not pray to two Gods, but we may pray to one God in the name of one Lord. We must believe therefore in one Lord Jesus Christ that we may behave our selves obediently towards him as subjects & keep his laws, & give him that honour & glory & worship which is due to him as our Lord & King or else we are not his people. We must believe that this Lord Jesus is the Christ, or Messiah the Prince predicted by Daniel, & we must worship him as the Messiah or else we are no Christians. The Jews who were taught to have but one God were also taught to expect a king, & the Christians are taught in their Creed to have the same God & to believe that Jesus is that King.”

“Bullialdus wrote that all force respecting the Sun as its center & depending on matter must be reciprocally in a duplicate ratio of the distance from the center.”

Letter to Edmund Halley (June 20, 1686) quoted in I. Bernard Cohen and George E. Smith, ed.s, The Cambridge Companion to Newton (2002) p. 204

“One [method] is by a Watch to keep time exactly. But, by reason of the motion of the Ship, the Variation of Heat and Cold, Wet and Dry, and the Difference of Gravity in different Latitudes, such a watch hath not yet been made.”

“The changing of bodies into light, and light into bodies, is very conformable to the course of Nature, which seems delighted with transmutations.”

Isaac Newton livro Opticks, or a Treatise of the Reflections, Refractions, Inflections and Colours of Light

Query 30 : Are not gross bodies and light convertible into one another, and may not bodies receive much of their activity from the particles of light which enter into their composition?
Opticks (1704)
