Who invented the theory of inertia?

The theory of inertia was first formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in his first law of motion, also known as Newton's first law. Newton proposed that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.


Did Galileo discover gravity?

No, Galileo did not discover gravity. The concept of gravity was introduced by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century through his theory of universal gravitation. Galileo made significant contributions to the field of physics, particularly in the study of motion and mechanics.

Who published a complete description of the concept of inertia?

Sir Isaac Newton published a complete description of the concept of inertia in his book "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" in 1687. This work established the foundation for classical mechanics and introduced the three laws of motion, including the first law which defines the concept of inertia.
