Sir Isaac Newton worked in many areas of

mathematics and physics. He developed the
theories of gravitation in 1666 when he was
only 23 years old. In 1686, he presented his
three laws of motion in the “Principia
Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis.”
Newton’s Third Law of Motion (Action & Reaction)

His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and
opposite reaction. If object A exerts a force on object B, object B also exerts an
equal and opposite force on object A. In other words, forces result from
interactions.
