| 1661 CE | Isaac Newton admitted as a student to Trinity College, Cambridge. | |
| 1665 CE | Isaac Newton deduces the inverse-square gravitational force law from the 'falling' of the Moon. | |
| 1665 CE | Isaac Newton invents his calculus. | |
| 1666 CE | Isaac Newton begins work on the laws of mechanics and gravitation. | |
| 1666 CE | Isaac Newton studies the spectrum of light. | |
| 1668 CE | Isaac Newton reinvents and then constructs the first optical reflecting telescope that is put to practical use. | |
| 1672 CE | Isaac Newton suggests that the variation of a pendulum is due to equatorial bulge. | |
| 1672 CE | Isaac Newton is elected a member of Royal Society. | |
| 1672 CE | Isaac Newton reads the first optics paper before Royal Society in London. | |
| 1675 CE | Isaac Newton delivers his theory of light. | |
| 1675 CE | Isaac Newton invents an algorithm for the computation of functional roots | |
| 1680 CE | Isaac Newton demonstrates that inverse square law implies eliptical orbits. | |
| 1684 CE | Isaac Newton proves that planets moving under an inverse-square force law will obey Kepler's laws. | |
| 1686 CE | Isaac Newton uses a fixed length pendulum with weights of varying composition to test the weak equivalence principle. | |

| 1687 CE | Isaac Newton publishes his laws of motion and gravitation. | |
| 1687 CE | Newton declared that time is absolute... 'It flows equably without relation to anything external'. This view was held until Einstein's relativity in 1905. | |
