British people have a long history of innovation and invention.

Just how inventive they are, and have been, might surprise you.

Many everyday items today were either directly invented by Brits or are derived from previous British inventions.

In this ppt, we'll take a look at 9 of the greatest British inventions. 

The Reflecting Telescope by Isaac Newton in 1668

First up on our list of some of the greatest British inventions comes from one of the greatest scientists of all time.

Devised by Isaac Newton in 1668, the reflecting telescope changed the field of astronomy forever.

It was designed as an alternative to the refracting telescope which suffered from severe chromatic aberration. 

We have already mentioned Isaac Newton. Nevertheless, I would like to emphasize one more of his discoveries - gravity

Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and mathematician and physicist who lived from 1642-1727. .

The legend is that Newton discovered Gravity when he saw a falling apple while thinking about the forces of nature.

Whatever really happened, Newton realized that some force must be acting on falling objects like apples because otherwise they would not start moving from rest.

Newton also realized that the moon would fly off away from Earth in a straight line tangent to its orbit if some force was not causing it to fall toward the Earth. The moon is only a projectile circling around the Earth under the attraction of Gravity.
