If I Were Sir isaac Newton


If I were Sir Isaac Newton I would have conducted more research on motion at atomic and large scale levels. Niels Bohr a Danish physicist discovered that Newtonian mechanics (Newton’s laws of Motion) are not accurate when working with masses of the atomic level specifically electrons. It was also proven that Newtonian mechanics are inaccurate with very huge masses, such as large asteroids in space. If I were to be in Newton’s shoes I would have conducted experiments at as many levels as possible to be as accurate as possible. Not necessarily at the large scale because during Newton’s time it was impossible to experiment on things in space. I would however definitely conduct research at the atomic level and to the largest scale possible on earth. For insistence I would test my theories on large masses such as boulders and study the results of experiments I would do on atoms and molecules. I’m not exactly sure how I would go about the experiments because I am not familiar with the technology available at that time. But I would find a way regardless of the technological availability or at least make speculations about what might happen if I were to apply my mechanics to Large or atomic masses.
