Newton, Einstein, Niels Bohr, Richard Feynman, and many other physicists have gained great popularity in the scientific community and among the general public. Physics is fundamentally the study of understanding nature. Nature can be thought of as everything around us. However, some things are not visible among them.

One of the most famous physicists in physics, Isaac Newton, was not only a physicist but also a talented individual in various fields, including mathematics. Newton's major achievement is the Principia. In Principia, some contents have a significant impact on physics, such as explaining Newton's three laws and the motion of the universe, which any student studying physics at Principia should naturally know.

Albert Einstein, one of the most famous scientists in physics along with Newton, had an undeniable influence on most of modern physics. His greatest achievement is considered to be the theory of relativity. In the theory of relativity, he described and predicted physically inexplicable phenomena, challenging and supporting Newton's physics, which had been followed for a long time. 

Niels Bohr and Richard Feynman, two of the most famous physicists in modern physics, had a huge impact on the development of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is the study of a world moving in a completely different system from what we commonly think of as a physical system. In modern society, many products using quantum mechanics are countless.

"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants," Newton said. All progress and theories are possible because of past achievements, and Newton himself simply described what those giants had created. The meaning of a theory may change over time, but the value of the theory does not change, and that is why we learn physics from Newtonian mechanics.
