Quote by Paul Davies
The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newto

The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newtons formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It is no exaggeration to say that physics was reborn in the early 20th-century with the twin revolutions of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. – Paul Davies
