  Isaac Newton - Metaweb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Newton also notes that the relative color or perceived color of objects is determined by the quality of the light striking the object.
Newton is also the first person in history to unlock the riddle of the rainbow when he applies his understanding of refraction to the water droplets in the air.
It was Isaac Newton, lecturing on the “harmonies of colours” in 1669, who determined that there are seven colours in the rainbow, on the assumption that colours are “perhaps analagous to the concordances of sound”.

 PlanetPapers - Newton vs. Leibniz
Isaac Newton was born in the manor house of Hamlet of Woolsthorpe in the city of Lincolnshire on December 25th, 1642.
Newton’s own techniques did not appear until his publication of “Optiks.” However, in 1710 Leibniz was accused formally of plagiarism by the Royal Society of England, but, with increased debate over who had discovered calculus first, in 1713 Newton too was accused.
Because Newton had been approaching calculus primarily in regards to its applications to physics, he purported curves to be “the creation of the motion of points while perceiving velocity to be the primary derivative.”1 Conversely, the calculus of Leibniz was applied more to discoveries in geometry.

Given the double influx of the foul Wold Newton genes, it was inevitable that John Sunlight, the great-great-grandson of the first Professor Moriarty, and the great-grandson of Sir William Clayton (who, after all, had also spawned the insidious Doctor Fu Manchu), would embark upon a career as a super-criminal.

century, Isaac Newton stoutly maintained in England that time flows uniformly of its own accord, independently of human minds and all material objects, like a long broad river which would never change course or reverse.
Scientists continued their efforts to establish repeatable standards, including the adoption of the rate of oscillation of the cesium atom as the definition of the "atomic second." Apparently, the cesium atom has very stable habits.
That seems to be a pretty accurate definition of "one second." And, of course, there will continue to be sixty seconds in a minute, and sixty minutes in an hour.
