From Classical Newtonian Phylosophy to Skyrmion – A Short History

This paper presents a short history from Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Matematica of Newton to skyrmions of Skyrme. It is shown that the classical mechanics does not exclude skyrmions (as topologically stable field configuration of a certain class of non-linear sigma models- for example nucleon model). In certain conditions the Newtonian Theory becomes fundamental in building of modern physics theories (as quantum mechanics, fields theories, etc.).
