Newton III: The Cosmic Ballet

In this episode, we get into the heart of Isaac Newton's
scientific contribution. His laws of mechanics and gravitation
fundamentally changed the way that we viewed both motion, and one
of the (now four) fundamental forces. They would become the
theory that dominated our understanding for the next three
centuries, and even when relativity is discovered, Newton's laws
are accurate enough across a wide enough range of circumstances
to allow us to put humans on the Moon. 

We'll dive into these laws, explain them, and discuss how they
govern so many phenomena in the world around us - from snooker to
the cosmos.
