observation and conjuncture, invented his own brand of physics that is still in use today. The scientific method he supported - hypothesis, observation and conclusion - is the bailiwick of
todays methods of research. Another reason why Popes praise of Newton can be considered somewhat lavish is because Newton shared the stage
of discovery with other fine men who were equally observant and who also helped launch the fields of modern science. But Newtons accomplishments were more tangible than those of Copernicus
who reinvented astronomy and Paracelsus, who is universally regarded as the father of modern chemistry was. Very few people have heard of Copernicus or Paraclesus. But almost every school child
knows the story of Isaac Newton - of how one day, he sat daydreaming beneath an apple tree and, upon being hit on the head by an apple, began pondering
