He formulated the laws of motion and coinvented calculus. He wrote the Principia Mathematica which explained the classical laws of motion in great detail. He took the three laws of motion as axioms and then derived other known results from those laws.
Over the past four centuries, experiments have verified his laws basically to the error of relativity. Then in 1915 came Einstein's reformulations of gravity which showed that Newton's view was only an approximation.
"Magical power in the center of earth"? No, Einstein's General theory explains gravity as the warping of space-time itself by the energy/mass which resides in it.
You are a funny sort of troll. ;-)
