he wrote the Emperor's new clothes, the little mermaid, the ugly duckling and lots of other short stories. I don't quite know what he did for the world though.

I'm assuming you mean what is the history (biography)of C.H.\n\nSee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiaan_Huygens\n\nAlthough technically correct, your ? is phrased in an alien form for speakers of American English.......

Sir Isaac Newton, PRS, \n\n\n(4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727) [OS: 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727] was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, alchemist, inventor, and natural philosopher who is generally regarded as one of the most influential scientists in history.\n\nNewton wrote the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica wherein he described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, laying the groundwork for classical mechanics. By deriving Kepler's laws of planetary motion from this system, he was the first to show that the motion of bodies on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws. The unifying and deterministic power of his laws was integral to the scientific revolution and the advancement of heliocentrism.\n\nAmong other scientific discoveries, Newton realized that the spectrum of colours observed when white light passes through a prism is inherent in the white light and not added by the prism (as Roger Bacon had claimed in the 13th century), and notably argued that light is composed of particles. He also developed a law of cooling, describing the rate of cooling of objects when exposed to air. He enunciated the principles of conservation of momentum and angular momentum. Finally, he studied the speed of sound in air, and voiced a theory of the origin of stars.\n\nAmong Westerners, Newton played a major role in the history of calculus, sharing credit with Gottfried Leibniz. He also made contributions to other areas of mathematics, having derived the binomial theorem in its entirety. The mathematician and mathematical physicist Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736–1813), said that "Newton was the greatest genius that ever existed and the most fortunate, for we cannot find more than once a system of the world to establish

I haven't done a paper about him but I have edited a children's nonfiction book about him. What kind of information do you need? There's lots of good, interesting information out there about him. Check out the websites below and then go to your library!

1)Isaac Newton: The greatest genius that ever lived.  His work opened the natural world to study, and answered almost all of the major questions of his day.\n\n2) Aristotle: The most influential thinker until modern times, who established observation and logic and central principles in understanding the universe.\n\nThen, in no particular order:\n\nPlank, Einstein: physics-Plank established quantum physics (after a lot of resistance) and Einstein relativity.  Between the two, they brought us into the modern understanding of the universe-we have not really made discoveries of this significance since.\n\nMendel, Darwin: biology- The understanding of evolution, which is the origin of all the species (Darwin) and of the process of genetics (Mendel).\n\nWegener: geology: Plate tectonic theory-from him we understand a great deal of how the Earth is structured.\n\nFreud: psychology:  Almost none of his theories are believed today, but the very idea that there was a subconcious, that the mind was amenable to analysis, was absolutely revolutionary.  His work probably has more effect on the way the average person thinks about themselves and the world than any other on this list.\n\nLavoisier, Mendeleev: chemistry: Lavoisier overturned all of the thought of the day on chemistry with the establishment of conservation of mass.  Mendeleev constructed the periodic table of the elements, and explained property relationships-all of chemistry is built on this.

Do you mean George Stephenson? It helps if you spell the name correctly.\n\nThere's plenty of information on the Web, including this:\nhttp://www.infoplease.com/ce6/people/A0846668.html
