Johannes Kepler
(1571-1630)Studied the orbits of the planets and desired to notice the scheme that defined the structure of the universe according to geometry. He came up with the Laws of Planetary Motion, which main purpose is to explain the orbital properties of planets. These theories made up the background to Newton’s thinking about planet interaction and the relationship between the masses. -
Issac Newton
(1643-1727)English scientist and philosopher who formulated the Laws of Motion and the Law of Universal Gravitation. Because of his many contributions he is considered one of the most important scientists that have ever lived. His first theory sets the fundamental principles of gravitational force, as the name states itself. The second one explains the relationship between objects and the forces that cause objects to be in motion. -
