On my previous post at 3.22pm (& 3.29pm) pm I asked what famous scientists did Isaac Newton work with. Unfortnately no-one has answered and I have been unable to find a website that tells me. I have come across Edmund Halley name linked to Newton's would he be a scientist worked with. Also I need more than one scientist. Can anyone help please. Thankyou.
Newton was a contemporary of the Great Leibniz, Hyguens, Hooke, Boyle, Halley,
and others

Certainly! I can definitely help you with that.
Isaac Newton indeed worked with several famous scientists during his lifetime. One of the most significant collaborations Newton had was with Edmund Halley. Halley was an English astronomer who is best known for calculating the orbit of the comet that now bears his name, Halley's Comet. Halley and Newton corresponded extensively, and Halley played a crucial role in the publication of Newton's most famous work, "Principia Mathematica."
In addition to Edmund Halley, Newton had other notable scientific collaborators, such as:
1. Robert Hooke: Hooke was an English scientist who significantly contributed to various scientific fields, including mechanics and microscopy. He corresponded with Newton on a variety of scientific matters and was involved in a dispute with Newton regarding the theory of light and optics.
2. John Flamsteed: Flamsteed was the first Astronomer Royal and collaborated with Newton on several astronomical observations and calculations. Newton used Flamsteed's data to establish the principles of celestial mechanics.
3. Roger Cotes: Cotes was a mathematician and friend of Newton, who worked closely with him on the second edition of "Principia Mathematica." Cotes provided valuable insights and helped refine Newton's ideas.
These are just a few examples of scientists who collaborated or interacted with Newton during his career. It's worth noting that Newton's contributions to scientific knowledge were vast and far-reaching, and his work has influenced numerous researchers and scholars throughout history.
