Sir Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton, English physicist, mathematician, and natural philosopher, considered one of the most important scientists of all time. Newton formulated laws of universal gravitation and motion—laws that explain how objects move on Earth as well as through the heavens. Encarta

About Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton (4 January 1643 - 31 March 1728) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, and alchemist. His treatise Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, laying the groundwork for classical mechanics, which dominated the scientific view 
of the physical universe for the next three centuries and is the basis for modern engineering. He showed that the motion of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation, thus removing the last doubts about heliocentrism and advancing the scientific revolution.
In mechanics, Newton enunciated the principles of conservation of momentum and angular momentum. In optics, he invented the reflecting telescope and developed a theory of color based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into a visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound.
In mathematics, Newton shares the credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the development of the calculus. He also demonstrated the generalized binomial theorem, developed the so-called "Newton's method" for approximating the zeroes of a function, and contributed to the study of power series.
In a 2005 poll of the Royal Society of who had the greatest effect on the history of science, Newton was deemed more influential than Albert Einstein. Wikipedia

- For 350 year Physicists mathematicians astronphysicists and all others including Newton himself solved Newton's equation wrong. When I solved it correctly I ended up combinning quantum mechanics with Newtonian Mechnics and Ending einstein. Go to www.worldnpa.org database and and look up Joe alexander nahhas and look for the correct solution of Newton's equation that explained relativistic as visual effects of moving objects a case of 400 years of astronomy that can not read a telescope

- Kepler (demolish) Vs Einstein's
Universal Mechanics Vs Space-time Illusions
Areal velocity is constant: r² %u03B8' =h Kepler's Law
h = 2%u03C0 a b/T; b=a%u221A (1-%u03B5²); a = mean distance value; %u03B5 = eccentricity
r² %u03B8'= h = S² w'
Replace r with S = r exp (%u1EC9 wt); h = [r² Exp (2iwt)] w'
w' = (h/r²) exp [-2(i wt)]
w'= (h/r²) [cosine 2(wt) - %u1EC9 sine 2(wt)] = (h/r²) [1- 2sine² (wt) - %u1EC9 sin 2(wt)]
w' = w'(x) %u1EC9 w'(y) ; w'(x) = (h/r²) [ 1- 2sine² (wt)]
w'(x) - (h/r²) = - 2(h/r²)sine²(wt) = - 2(h/r²)(v/c)² v/c=sine wt
(h/ r²)(Perihelion/Periastron)= [2%u03C0a.a%u221A (1-%u03B5²)]/Ta² (1-%u03B5) ²= [2%u03C0%u221A (1-%u03B5²)]/T (1-%u03B5) ²
%u0394 w' = [w'(x) - h/r²] = -4%u03C0 {[%u221A (1-%u03B5²)]/T (1-%u03B5) ²} (v/c) ² radian per second
%u0394 w' = (- 4%u03C0 /T) {[%u221A (1-%u03B5²)]/ (1-%u03B5) ²} (v/c) ² radians
%u0394 w' = (-720/T) {[%u221A (1-%u03B5²)]/ (1-%u03B5) ²} (v/c) ² degrees; Multiplication by 180/%u03C0
%u0394 w' = (-720x36526/T) {[%u221A (1-%u03B5²)]/(1-%u03B5)²} (v/c)² degrees/100 years
%u0394 w" = (-720x3600/T) {[%u221A (1-%u03B5²)]/ (1-%u03B5) ²} (v/c) ² seconds of arc by 3600
%u0394 w" = (-720x36526x3600/T) {[%u221A (1-%u03B5²]/(1-%u03B5)²} (v/c)² seconds of arc per century
This Kepler's Equation solves all the problems Einstein and all physicists could not solve
The circumference of an ellipse: 2%u03C0a (1 - %u03B5²/4 3/16(%u03B5²)²- --.) %u2248 2%u03C0a (1-%u03B5²/4); R =a (1-%u03B5²/4) v=%u221A [G m M / (m M) a (1-%u03B5²/4)] %u2248 %u221A [GM/a (1-%u03B5²/4)]; m<sec; a = 58.2km/sec
Calculations yields:
v =48.14km/sec; [%u221A (1- %u03B5²)] (1-%u03B5) ² = 1.552
%u0394 w"= (-720x36526x3600/88) x (1.552) (48.14/299792)²=43.0"/century
Conclusions: The 43" seconds of arc of advance of perihelion of Planet Mercury (General relativity) is given by Kepler's equation better than all of Published papers of Einstein. Kepler's Equation can solve Einstein's nemesis DI Her Binary stars motion and all the other dozens of stars motions posted for past 40 years on NASA website SAO/NASA as unsolved by any physics Anyone dare to prove me wrong?

- Good lens. Reminds me of a joke:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Chickens at rest tend to stay at rest. Chickens in motion tend to cross the road.
Or: It was pushed on the road by another chicken, which went away from the road.
Or: It was attracted to a chicken on the other side of the road.
