Over the centuries, more precise astronomical observations led Nicolaus Copernicus to develop the heliocentric model with the Sun at the center of the Solar System. In developing the law of universal gravitation, Isaac Newton built upon Copernicus's wo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
