Isaac Newton’s inventions contributed a great deal to our current understanding of subjects from optics to theology and how early scientists were able to view their world. In mathematics Isaac Newton inventions included laying the ground work for differential and integral calculus. His work was based on his insight that the integration of a function

on their content of the radioisotope carbon-14, to estimate the age of carbon-bearing materials up to about 58,000 to 62,000 years. Archaeology and other human sciences use radiocarbon dating to prove or disprove theories. Over the years, carbon 14 dating has also found applications in geology, hydrology, geophysics, and atmospheric science. Not all materials can be radiocarbon dated. Most, if not all, organic compounds can be dated. Samples that have been radiocarbon dated since the inception of

The New York Giants win Game 1 of the 1954 World Series, and Mays, his glove, and “The Catch” earn their place in history. Few of our limb movements will ever gain such immortality, but what we accomplish every day is remarkable, nonetheless. When we catch a tipped
