Newton delivered important works at several areas, but the 3 publications which is often regarded as the main works is Principia, Philosophical Transactions and Opticks.
The Newtonian laws of motion was accepted as indisputable laws in the mechanics in the end of the 19th century.

Newtons laws apply only to things moving at low speed compared to speed of light.
