Another influence to Isaac Newton was Galileo. You see Isaac Newton was born on the year that Galileo died. At that time Galileo was known really well. That influenced Isaac Newton.
In 1672, Newton became a member of the Royal Societyâa group of scientists committed to the experimental method. He presented one of his new telescopes to the Royal Society along with his findings on light. The Royal Society set up a committee led by physicist Robert Hooke to evaluate Newton's findings. Hooke was a scientist employed by the Royal Society to evaluate new inventions. However, Hooke had his own ideas on light and was slow to accept the truth of Newtonâs findings.
