《原理》一書讓牛頓收獲了榮譽(yù)，本書從數(shù)學(xué)角度向世人闡述了天體的運(yùn)動軌跡以及令其公轉(zhuǎn)重要的作用力——萬有引力~~~

Once in a great while
For the rest of his life he would be draped with plaudits and honors, becoming, among much else, the first person in Britain knighted for scientific achievement.

It not only explained mathematically the orbits of heavenly bodies, but also identified the attractive force that got them moving in the first place, gravity.
極其偶然，歷史也只有過幾次吧，有人作出如此敏銳而又出人意料的觀察，人們無法確定究竟哪個更加驚人--是那個事實(shí)還是他的思想?！对怼返膯柺谰褪沁@樣的一個時刻。它頓時使牛頓聞名遐邇。在他的余生里，他將生活在贊揚(yáng)聲和榮譽(yù)堆里，尤其成了英國因科學(xué)成就而被封為爵士的第一人。連偉大的德國數(shù)學(xué)家戈特弗里德?萊布尼茲也認(rèn)為，他對數(shù)學(xué)的貢獻(xiàn)比得上在他之前的所有成就的總和，盡管在誰先發(fā)明微積分的問題上，牛頓曾跟他進(jìn)行過長期而又激烈的斗爭。"沒有任何凡人比牛頓本人更接近神。"哈雷深有感觸地寫道。他的同時代人以及此后的許多別人對此一直懷有同感。
《原理》一直被稱為"最難看懂的書之一"（牛頓故意把書寫得很難，那樣就不會被他所謂的數(shù)學(xué)"門外漢"糾纏不休），但對看得懂的人來說，它是一盞明燈。它不僅從數(shù)學(xué)的角度解釋了天體的軌道，而且指出了使天體運(yùn)行的引力--萬有引力。突然之間，宇宙里的每種運(yùn)動都說得通了。
