Where Can I Find Classical Papers on Physics by Famous Scientists?

In summary, a classical paper in physics is a groundbreaking scientific research paper that introduces new theories, laws, or principles in the field of physics. Some of the most influential physicists of classical papers include Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, James Clerk Maxwell, Galileo Galilei, and Niels Bohr. These papers are still relevant in modern physics and examples include Newton's "Principia Mathematica", Einstein's "Theory of General Relativity", Maxwell's "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field", and Bohr's "On the Constitution of Atoms and Molecules". These papers can be accessed and read online through academic databases or through the websites of scientific organizations and institutions.
