Name two scientific thinkers who were associated with the Royal Society. [MEG 101 Prerestoration]

Two scientific thinkers who were associated with the Royal Society in the 17th century are:

Isaac Newton: He is perhaps the most famous of all the scientists associated with the Royal Society. Newton made groundbreaking contributions to the fields of mathematics, physics, and astronomy. He developed the laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation, which became the foundation of classical mechanics. His book "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), published in 1687, is considered one of the most important scientific works ever written.

Robert Boyle: Boyle was an Irish natural philosopher who is often called the "father of chemistry." He made important contributions to the fields of chemistry, physics, and medicine, and is perhaps best known for his law describing the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas. Boyle was one of the founding members of the Royal Society, and served as its president from 1680 until his death in 1691.
