Theory of Knowledge Connection
Classical physics believed that the whole of the future of the universe could be predicted from knowledge of the present state (i.e. The Mechanical Universe). To what extent can knowledge of the present give us knowledge of the future?
Nature of Science
Isaac Newton provided the basis for much of our understanding of forces and motion by formalizing the previous work of scientists through the application of mathematics by inventing calculus to assist with this.
The tale of the falling apple describes simply one of the many flashes of intuition that went into the publication of Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1687.
