Isaac Newton is credited with explaining the mechanism of universal motion. Although constructed in the 1600s, his theories on gravity would become the foundation
for the modern world view of the universe. These theories demonstrated the manner in which the various components of the universe related to one another as a result of
the force of natural attraction, a relationship described in a mathematical formula which can be restated to contend that "the gravitational attraction of two bodies is equal to the product
of their mass divided by the square of the distance between them" (Hodges, 2002). Newtons life and work are, in fact, among the most interesting in history.
Newtons discoveries are even more fascinating in the context of the period in which they were made. Numerous scientific and technological advancements which were
made in this time period had tremendous impact not only on the people of that time period but all the way up to the present. From Copernicus to Voltaire,
the greatest minds of all time became occupied with the refinement of scientific knowledge and even the scientific method itself. Newtons
discoveries interrelated, in fact, with many others of this time period. The first radical departure of science from the tried and true norms of the period preceding the Renaissance
was the findings of Copernicus. Copernicus, to the consternation of the Church in particular, asserted that it was the sun around which our planet revolved, not the sun
around the earth as was held by the Church (Meeks PG). Copernicus revelations would be so astonishing that even he himself would be unwilling to publish them until practically
