Isaac
Isaac ( EYE-zək; Biblical Hebrew: יִצְחָק, romanized: Yīṣḥāq; Ancient Greek: Ἰσαάκ, romanized: Isaák; Arabic: إسحٰق/إسحاق, romanized: Isḥāq; Classical Syriac: ܐܝܨܚܩ, romanized: Iṣḥāq; Amharic: ይስሐቅ) is one of the three patriarchs of the Israelites and an important figure in the Abrahamic religions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and the Baháʼí Faith. Isaac first appears in the Torah, in which he is the son of Abraham and Sarah, the father of Jacob and Esau, and the grandfather of the twelve tribes of Israel. Isaac's name means "he will laugh", reflecting the laughter, in disbelief, of Abraham and Sarah, when told by God that they would have a child. He is the only patriarch whose name was not changed, and the only one who did not move out of Canaan. Read more on Wikipedia

Isaac Newton is most famous for his three laws of motion. The first law states that a body at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force. The second law states that the change in momentum of a body is proportional to the force acting on it and is in the direction of the force. The third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
