What was Newton's father's occupation?
What did young Isaak Newton created in his early age?
Why did his mother take him from school at the age of 14?
Newton returned to Cambridge in 1667 and was elected a minor fellow. He constructed the first a/___________ in 1668, and the following year he received his Master of Arts degree and took over as Cambridge’s Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. Asked to give a demonstration of his invention to the Royal Society of London in 1671, he was elected to the Royal Society the following year and published his notes on optics for his peers.
Which university did he connect his whole life with?
Isaac Newton invented
Isaac Newton became
What was the middle name of the famous English naturalist Charles Darvin
Why did his family give him a nickname Gas?
What science did his family send him to study at Edinburgh university?
What led Darvin to his theory of evolution?
Which book provoked a great scandal and attack on Charles Darvin?
After delays, the voyage began on 27 December 1831; it lasted almost five years. As FitzRoy had intended, Darwin spent most of that time on land investigating geology and making natural history collections, while HMS Beagle surveyed and charted coasts.[18][46] He kept careful notes of his observations and theoretical speculations, and at intervals during the voyage ________________________________________________.[47] He had some expertise in geology, beetle collecting and dissecting marine invertebrates, but in all other areas was a novice and ably collected specimens for expert appraisal
In Cape Town, South Africa, Darwin and FitzRoy met John Herschel, who had recently written to Lyell praising his uniformitarianism as opening bold speculation on "that mystery of mysteries, the replacement of extinct species by others" as "a natural in contradistinction to a miraculous process".[72] When organising his notes as the ship sailed home, Darwin wrote that, if his growing suspicions about the mockingbirds, the tortoises and the Falkland Islands fox were correct, "such facts undermine the stability of Species", then cautiously added_____________________ before "undermine".[73] He later wrote that such facts "seemed to me to throw some light on the origin of species".[74]
Queen Anne of England visited Trinity College, Cambridge on 17 April 1705. It was then that the Queen Knighted Isaac Newton.
It is claimed that the knighthood had nothing to do with scientific accomplishments but it was rather _____________________
In the opening sentence of On the Origin of Species, Darwin affirmed that his observations when on board HMS Beagle had played a vital part in the development of his theories. However, the idea that he was struck by

It is clear from his notes that he continued for some nine months after visiting Galapagos to believe in the fixity of species and his earliest doubts about the _____________________of this doctrine, written around 1 July 1836 on the last leg of the journey, were based on the mockingbirds that he had collected, not the finches.
It then became clear that Darwin had ___________ some of his specimens and had not recorded with his usual care exactly where all of them had been collected, so that he was obliged to seek help from those of his shipmates who had also shot some finches.

Within 10 years the tortoises ________________ on Floreana Island, partly because of heavy depredations by visiting ships and partly because the tortoises were losing out through competition with the goats that had been introduced and the destruction of their eggs and young by dogs and rats.
No work of science has drawn more attention from philosophers than Newton's Principia. The reasons for this, however, and consequently the focus of the attention have changed significantly from one century to the next. During the 20th Century philosophers have viewed the Principia in the context of Einstein's new theory of gravity in his theory of general relativity.

During most of the 18th Century, by contrast, Newton's theory of gravity remained under dispute, especially because of the absence of a mechanism — in particular, a contact mechanism — producing gravitational forces.

By the 1790s Newton's theory of gravity had become established among those engaged in research in orbital mechanics and physical geodesy, leading to the Principia becoming the exemplar of science at its most successful. Philosophic interest in the Principia during the 19th Century __________________came to focus on how Newton had achieved this success, in part to characterize the knowledge that had been achieved and in part to pursue comparable knowledge in other areas of research
