Newtonian physics - the system of physics based principally on the dynamics of Isaac Newton, 1642-1727 (including his famous law of gravitation). The system was very successful in predicting the behaviour of particles, pendulums, machines etc up to the end of the 19th Century when the new physics began to have its impact.
