• 00:05:00 Newton's physics is based on the principles of motion that were first articulated by Isaac Newton. In the early 20th century, physics began to explore the scales of the super small with the work of Max Planck and Albert Einstein, and quantum mechanics was born. Despite the complexities of the universe, all of the work in modern physics is based on simpler ideas that date back to Newton. Finally, Albert Einstein quotes emphasize the mystical nature of the universe and the awe we feel when exploring its mysteries.
