Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating story of Sir Isaac Newtonââ â¢s groundbreaking work on gravity and planetary motion, the *Principia*. The author traces the evolution of Newtonââ â¢s ideas, from his initial insights in 1666, through his correspondence with Robert Hooke in 1679, to the culmination of his research in the *Principia* published in 1687. The book explores the scientific debates of the time, including the influence of RenàDescartesââ â¢s theory of vortices and the ongoing controversy surrounding the law of inverse squares, which describes the relationship between gravity and distance. The author highlights the importance of Halleyââ â¢s role in encouraging Newton to complete his work, and illuminates the process through which the *Principia* was written, edited, and ultimately published. This book offers a unique and insightful account of Newtonââ â¢s scientific journey, revealing the complexity and brilliance of his thinking, and laying bare the foundations of modern physics.
