Today ( December 25) is the 383rd BIRTHDAY Anniversary on CHRISTMAS DAY.

Sir Isaac Newton was a renowned English mathematician, physicist, and scientist born on December 25, 1642, in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. His father, also named Isaac Newton, was a farmer who passed away three months before his birth. Newton's mother, Hannah Ayscough, remarried when Newton was three years old, leaving him to live with his grandparents.

Early Life and Education

Newton attended The King's School in Grantham, where he showed little interest in academics initially. However, he eventually became one of the top students. He later enrolled in Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1661, where he studied mathematics, science, and physics. Newton graduated with a Bachelor's degree in 1665 but continued his studies, making significant discoveries in mathematics and optics.

Major Contributions

Newton's groundbreaking work includes:
- Calculus: Developed differential and integral calculus, revolutionizing mathematics and physics.
- Optics: Studied light and color, demonstrating that white light is composed of multiple colors.
- Gravity: Formulated the law of universal gravitation, explaining how objects attract each other.
- Laws of Motion: Described three laws governing motion, fundamental to understanding physics.

Career and Later Life

Newton became the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge in 1669 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1672. He served as a Member of Parliament for Cambridge University and was knighted by Queen Anne in 1705. Newton also worked as Warden and Master of the Royal Mint, reforming the currency and preventing counterfeiting.
Personal Life and Legacy

Newton never married and had few close relationships. He was known for his intense focus on his work and his disputes with other scientists, such as Robert Hooke. Newton passed away on March 20, 1727, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. His legacy as a pioneering scientist and mathematician continues to inspire and influence modern science.

People of Suriname 🇸🇷 a country in South America, the people(Black) are of African Ancestry specifically Ghana.🇬🇭

Suriname, once known as Dutch Guiana, is one of South America's smallest countries. ... Suriname is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the Americas. Most of its people are descended from Africa, Indian and Javanese indentured labourers brought over by the Dutch to work in agriculture.

Suriname's biggest city is the capital city Paramaribo. Over 90% of the country is covered by tropical rain forest. The country's name 'Suriname' derives from the Surinen people who lived in the area in the 16th century. Suriname is known for its Dutch sugar plantations.

English is widely spoken among people in tourism, restaurants, bars, etc. ... English is widely spoken in Suriname.

Max Planck introduced his quantum theory in 1900 while studying how hot objects give off light. Scientists expected that energy would flow smoothly, but the results did not match the old rules of physics. Planck found that energy is not released in a steady flow but in small separate pieces.

He called these tiny pieces quanta. This meant that energy is released or absorbed only in fixed amounts, not in partial pieces. This was a completely new and shocking idea at the time because it broke the old belief that energy could change in any amount.

Planck also created a simple equation that connects energy with frequency using a special constant now called Plancks constant. This equation showed that higher frequency means higher energy. This helped explain how light and heat behave at the smallest level.

His theory showed that matter can only absorb or give off energy in whole number multiples of these quanta. This explains why glowing objects give off certain colors instead of all possible colors smoothly. It also helped explain black body radiation which scientists could not explain before.

Plancks discovery became the foundation of quantum mechanics. It led to many other breakthroughs including the understanding of atoms light particles and energy exchange. Today this idea is used in computers lasers medicine and modern technology, shaping how we understand the universe at its smallest scale.

NORMAL DISTRIBUTION ❤️🌹🥰
The normal distribution's history traces from Abraham de Moivre's 1733 binomial approximation, through Carl Friedrich Gauss's 1809 astronomical error analysis, to its widespread adoption via the Central Limit Theorem (Laplace, 1810), solidifying its role in statistics for describing natural phenomena like height, error, and measurement clustering around a mean (the "bell curve").

When you know your real History as a black person you'll know how to relate with those people whose ancestors did this inhumane things towards us! They will claim to love us today but history will always guide us in dealing with them to be extra extra careful!
