As part of this man's studies of alchemy, he translated the Emerald tablet, and he thought the world would end after 2060. In his more serious scientific endeavors, he related an object's temperature and the ambient temperature to its rate of (*) cooling. He gave a mathematical basis to Kepler's laws of planetary motion in his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, which also contains his universal law of gravitation. For 10 points, name this English scientist who developed three laws of motion and discovered calculus concurrently with Leibniz.
