The Scientific Revolution

Newton Triumphant

He was supported by the newly-formed Royal Society and his views were popularized and spread widely in the press.

His view of the world did not become dominant until 1690s, and even later on the Continent. In part this is because he did not publish his great work, the Principia Mathematica until rather late.
