Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy

Isaac Newton · 1687
Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Is there a universal law that moves the universe?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first turned the pages of this great work, I felt the awe of glimpsing inside the mind of a genius who read the order of the cosmos in a falling apple. Newton's insight proves the single, concise, and luminous mathematical rule hidden behind natural phenomena that seem complex and disordered. I urge you to experience, through this book, the intellectual joy of having your whole way of understanding the world overturned.
