[5] Newton laid the foundations of Celestial Mechanics, at the close of the seventeenth century, by the discovery of the principle of universal gravitation. Even in his own hands, this discovery led to important consequences, but it has required a century and a half, and a regular succession of intellects the most powerful, to fill up the ...
Gravitation is a widely adopted textbook on Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, written by Charles W. Misner, Kip S. Thorne, and John Archibald Wheeler. It was originally published by W. H. Freeman and Company in 1973 and reprinted by Princeton University Press in 2017.
In physics, gravity (from Latin gravitas 'weight' [1]) is a fundamental interaction primarily observed as mutual attraction between all things that have mass.Gravity is, by far, the weakest of the four fundamental interactions, approximately 10 38 times weaker than the strong interaction, 10 36 times weaker than the electromagnetic force and 10 29 times weaker than the weak interaction.
Gravitation is the mass-proportionate force of attraction among matter. Gravitation may also refer to: Newton's law of universal gravitation, the classical theory of gravitation; General relativity, the theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein; Gravitation, a reference book about Einstein's theory of general relativity

[55] [b] They attributed the motion of objects to an impetus (akin to momentum), which varies according to velocity and mass; [55] Buridan was influenced in this by Ibn Sina's Book of Healing. [1] Buridan and the philosopher Albert of Saxony ( c. 1320 – c. 1390 ) adopted Abu'l-Barakat's theory that the acceleration of a falling body is a ...
