In 1672 he presented to the Royal Society the first reflecting telescope of practical use that would have enormous significance in the subsequent development of Astronomy.
He created the law of universal gravitation, which describes the interaction and gravitational attraction between different bodies with mass and also left a valuable contribution on the diffraction of light, optics, centrifugal force, centripetal force, the law of inverse of squares, moving bodies and the variation of tides due to gravity.
