Best Answer

Before Newton, the concept was completely non-existent.

Newton invented the whole idea, gave it the name "gravitation", created the formulas that

give it numbers, invented calculus in order to investigate how gravitation behaves, and

eventually showed ... on paper ... that the whole system he had developed predicts exactly

what we see the moon and all the planets doing in the sky.
