Nicolaus Copenricus (1473-1543) popularized a comprehensive heliocentric concept, now known as the Copernican model. His model was mathematically confirmed (but not proven) by Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), who defined the three laws of planetary dynamics. Isaac newton (1643-1727) defined the universal law of gravitation, in which he stated the force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the object. Newton's universal law of gravitation finally and permanently placed the sun at the center of the solar system, as the sun possesses a much greater mass than the Earth, or of all of the other planets.
