Why is a shadow always on the opposite side of the light source?

Your shadow will fall in the direction opposite the source of light - with you between the light source and the shadow. The direction of your shadow relative to you will depend on what direction you are facing.If you are facing toward the light source, the shadow will be behind you.If you are facing away from the light source, it will be in front of you.If you have the light source to your right, the shadow will be to your left.If you have the light source to your left, the shadow will be to your right.If the light source is directly above you, the shadow will be directly under you.If you move past a light source, your shadow will move from behind you to beside you and then to in front of you.

What is Isaac Newton's shadow?

well duuuh... its a shadow of isaac newton Disregarding the above ignoramus, his "shadow" is indeed much more than that.

The lack of progress (or progress that could've been made) because of this is Newton's shadow.
