Isaac Newton's Accomplishments

Have you ever wondered who the greatest genius is? The greatest genius to ever live was Isaac Newton. He was a scientist that discovered and invented many things.

He was knighted in 1705. He also wrote a book called “The Principia” and it is the most important book in modern European history.
