Reflecting telescope
The scientist was the first to suggest using a system of reflecting mirrors in telescopes. This way the image is clearer, and the telescope may also be smaller. Newton personally created a prototype of the telescope and presented it to the scientific community.
Cooling
He conducted many experiments with red-hot balloons. He noticed that the rate of heat loss was proportional to the temperature difference between the atmosphere and the object. So he developed the law of cooling.
Cat doors
Newton was constantly disturbed by cats scratching at the door. As a result, he called a carpenter and ordered him to make two holes in the door: a large one for a large cat and a small one for kittens.
