Newton’s Law of Gravitation

  • Michael Ruhrländer

摘要

After the preparatory statements in the last chapters, we now come to the core point of this first part, to Newton’s law of gravitation. Kepler’s laws for explaining the orbits of the planets were an important step towards understanding the processes in the solar system. They were rules established from the observational data of the time, which could not be derived from theoretical considerations.
