The Conclusion

The contribution made by Newton in development of natural sciences, consist that he has given a mathematical method of the reference of physical laws in quantitatively measurable results with which it was possible to confirm with supervision, and, on the contrary, to deduce physical laws on the basis of such supervision. As it wrote in the foreword to "Beginnings", "...The composition it us is offered as the mathematical bases of physics. All difficulty of physics... consists in that on the phenomena of movement to distinguish forces of the nature, and then on these forces to explain other phenomena... It would Be desirable to deduce from the beginnings of mechanics and other natural phenomena, arguing in the similar image for much forces me to assume, that all these phenomena are caused by some forces to which particles of bodies owing to the reasons while unknown persons, or aspire to each other and are linked in correct figures, or mutually make a start and leave from each other. As these forces are unknown, till now attempts of philosophers to explain a natural phenomenon and remained fruitless. I hope, however, that or to this way of a reasoning, or another, more correct, the bases stated here will deliver some illumination ".

The method of Newton became the main tool of knowledge of the nature. Laws of classical mechanics and methods of the mathematical analysis showed the efficiency. Physical experiment, leaning on measuring technics, provided unknown earlier accuracy. The physical knowledge all in a greater measure became a basis of industrial technology and technics, stimulated development of other natural sciences. In the physicist the light isolated earlier, an electricity, magnetism and heat have appeared incorporated in the electromagnetic theory. And though the nature of gravitation remained not found out, its actions could be calculated. The concept of mechanistic determinism of Laplace which is started with of an opportunity unequivocally to define behaviour of system at any moment, if known initial conditions has affirmed. The structure of mechanics as sciences seem strong, reliable and almost completely completed - i.e. Phenomena not keeping within existing classical canons with which it was necessary to collide, seem quite explainable in the future more refined minds from positions of classical mechanics. There was an impression, that the knowledge of physics close to the full end - so powerful force was shown with the base of classical physics.
