18th-century physics

Eighteenth-century physics was characterized by the development of classical mechanics, primarily through Isaac Newton’s work, which explained how objects move and interact through gravity and forces. It also advanced understanding of optics, acoustics, and electricity, exploring phenomena like light, sound, and electric charges. Scientists sought to describe natural laws mathematically, leading to precise predictions and technological innovations of the era. This period laid the groundwork for future scientific progress, establishing fundamental principles that remain influential today.
