Newton set forth his law of universal gravitation. The general theory of relativity, by Einstein, contains a 'quantum mechanical' theory of gravity. So there are at least 2 laws of gravity.

Who is best known for mathematical ideas about gravity and motion?
Isaac Newton with his law of universal gravitation is perhaps best known for explaining gravity, however in modern physics gravitation is described using Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Which of these was Sir Isaac Newton not known for?
Newton was best known for his universal gravitation theory and his discovering of the three laws of motion
An example of a theory and an law?
A theory is an idea system with a lot of evidence to support it--for example, the theory of evolution. A law (in science) is an idea system with proof attached to it--no contradictions--example, the law of gravitation.
An apple falling from a tree helped Sir Isaac Newton come up with what?
The theory of universal Gravitation. Got it right on Odyssey :)
What does the universal law of gravitation sate?
It states newtons law of gravitation

Isaac newton
Propounded the theory of universal gravitation.?
isaac newton
When did sir Issac newton publish the theory of gravitation?
1687
Name the theory that describes gravity?
Newton's Law of gravitation
What has the author George Henry Lepper written?
George Henry Lepper has written: 'The generalized theory of gravitation versus the general theory of relativity' -- subject- s -: Gravitation, Relativity - Physics -
Gravitation is what according to the general theory of relativity?
The attraction between masses.
When did Sir Isaac Newton publish the theory of gravitation?
1687
What is a theory of general relativity?
The General theory of relativity primarily applies to particles as they accelerate, particularly due to gravitation
Who is best known for mathematical ideas about gravity and motion?
Isaac Newton with his law of universal gravitation is perhaps best known for explaining gravity, however in modern physics gravitation is described using Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
What has the author Louis Witten written?
Louis Witten has written: 'Gravitation' -- subject(s): Gravitation, Quantum field theory, Unified field theories
Which of these people is most closely related to the theory of gravitation?
Sir Isaac Newton
What alternative will be used- newton discovered or invented the theory of gravitation?
It is more correct to say that Newton invented the theory of gravitation, than to say that he discovered the theory. Gravity exists in nature, but the theory of gravity does not exist in nature, it is a human invention. You can only discover something that already exists, and the theory of gravity didn't exist until Newton invented it.
