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.
Interestingly, Newton wasn't the first scientist to come up with the law of inertia. That honor goes to Galileo and to RenÃ© Descartes. In fact, the marble-and-ramp thought experiment described previously is credited to Galileo. Newton owed much to events and people who preceded him.
