The publication considered a milestone in the scientific revolution of the 17th century is Sir Isaac Newton's "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica," commonly known as the "Principia," published in 1687. This work laid the groundwork for classical mechanics and introduced the laws of motion and universal gravitation. It fundamentally changed the way people understood the natural world and set the stage for modern physics. By applying mathematical principles to physical phenomena, Newton's "Principia" demonstrated that the universe operates under certain laws, which could be described mathematically, influencing both scientific thought and methodology for centuries to come.
