Question

why was isaac newtons work considered a culmination of the scientific revolution? he invented the first telescope he rejected all previous scientific work he combined mathematics with experimental observation to explain natural laws he proved that the earth was flat

Explanation:

• Galileo invented the first telescope, not Newton.
• Newton built on previous scientific work, he didn't reject it.
• Newton's work, like formulating laws of motion and universal gravitation, combined mathematical rigor (using calculus he developed) with experimental observations (e.g., on motion of objects) to explain natural laws, which was a key aspect of the Scientific Revolution's approach (empirical and mathematical).
• It was known long before Newton that the Earth is spherical (e.g., through Eratosthenes' calculations of Earth's circumference, ship - horizon observations).

Answer:

He combined mathematics with experimental observation to explain natural laws.
