What did they believe prior to newtons law of gravity?

Answer 1

Before Isaac newton discovered gravity, people believed what the Catholic Church was teaching. The Catholic Church was teaching people that everything revolved around the Earth - the geocentric theory, and that God was the one who was using His power to hold up the heavenly bodies.

Answer 2

Newton had to devise a new mathematical technique, known as calculus, in order to summarize a force that involves all the particles of matter, however small, interacting simultaneously with all the other particles of matter. Once this analytical difficulty was overcome, you then have a very useful mathematical description of the force that not only causes apples to fall from trees, but also keeps planets in orbit around stars, and has vast implications for the way the universe as a whole functions. This was actually the first indication that the universe could be described mathematically.

Answer 3

Newton's law of gravity states that every object in the universe attracts every other object.

This belief states that everything in the universe has gravity and is attracted to each other, no matter the mass or distance apart.

Answer 4

All objects are made of materials extracted from the earth, and a law of nature

is that all things have a natural tendency to return to their original state.

Makes perfect sense, no ?

Answer 5

They thought that the Earth was at the center of the universe and sun , moon and other planets revolved around it

Answer 6

There are various things that people think of Isaac Newton. He is regarded as a major contributor to science and one of the brightest humans to have ever lived.

Answer 7

That would be Galileo. Newton came up with laws that were based on Galileos' work. Invented calculus.
