The Ether that does for the vehicle of Light will not do for the vehicle of universal Gravitation.
Another lump of ignorance (which had enabled the old generalisation to exist) was removed, and a new generalisation, that of universal gravitation, was after a time formed.
The question has arisen over and over again, since the discovery of universal gravitation by Sir Isaac Newton, as to what is the physical cause of the attraction of gravitation.
The illustration shows that a circular or nearly circular motion harmonises with the conception of the law of universal gravitation.
It was the crowning triumph of the great law of universal gravitation to remove this empirical character from Kepler's laws.
Is not this in conflict with the doctrine of universal gravitation?
No, if it be spring according to the law of universal gravitation, it is winter still by the law of life.
The dust of our extinguished world will not be scattered hap-hazard; the molecules of matter, indissolubly linked together by universal gravitation, will so arrange themselves as to constitute a new, and perhaps a more perfect world.
The remarkable harmony with which the orbs of the system perform their motions is strongly indicative of their common origin and that their evolution occurred in subordination to the law of universal gravitation.
The law of universal gravitation, a power which retains the Earth and planets in their orbits, causing them year after year to describe with unerring regularity their oval paths round the Sun, was not known at this time.
In 1700, Newton was pronounced "impious and heretical" by a large school of philosophers for declaring that the force which holds the planets in their orbits is universal gravitation.
Who remembers now that Robert Hooke contested with Newton the discovery of the doctrine of universal gravitation?
The wonderful discovery of universal gravitation, so firmly established, as the law which embraces every particle of matter in the solar system, enables us to do this, with the most perfect confidence.
But yet, if we suppose the nebulae to be governed by the law of universal gravitation, the attractive force of the luminous matter upon itself, must be sufficient to bend the spirals into their forms.
Perhaps some persons may be disposed to doubt whether, if Jupiter be, as we suppose, merely or principally a mass of water and of vapor, we are entitled to extend to him the law of universal gravitation, which is the basis of our speculations.
Thus we are told that matter and motion are determined as inertia, impulsion, fall; that Absolute Mechanics determines itself as centripetal force, centrifugal force, universal gravitation.
What did the early Greeks know about the structure of the solar system, the law of universal gravitation, and the laws of motion?
From the all too brief epitome here given of Kepler's greatest book, it must be obvious that he had at that time some inkling of the meaning of his laws--universal gravitation.
These three laws contain implicitly the law of universal gravitation.
It is the part of physical astronomy to explain the causes of these phenomena, by investigating the general laws on which they depend; especially, by tracing out all the consequences of the law of universal gravitation.
But the greatest single discovery, that has ever been made in astronomy, was the law of universal gravitation, a discovery made by Sir Isaac Newton, in the latter part of the seventeenth century.
Therefore, no fact in nature is more firmly established than is that of universal gravitation, as laid down by Newton, at least within the solar system.
It will thus be observed that the theory of Universal Gravitation is not by scientific men claimed to have been mathematically demonstrated, but its proof is regarded as resting upon its conformity with known natural phenomena.
Of course, we now know not only what the connection between the planet's distance and the planet's periodic time actually is, but we also know that it is a necessary consequence of the law of universal gravitation.
But it was reserved for him to accomplish other discoveries, which have pushed even his analysis of the sunbeam into the background; it is he who has expounded the system of the universe by the discovery of the law of universal gravitation.
The motions of the moon, so much within the reach of our own observation, presented a fine field for the application of the theory of universal gravitation.
The great discovery which characterizes the Principia is that of the principle of universal gravitation, as deduced from the motion of the moon, and from the three great facts or laws discovered by Kepler.
If the peculiar genius of Newton has been displayed in his investigation of the law of universal gravitation, it shines with no less lustre in the patience and sagacity with which he traced the consequences of this fertile principle.
Universal gravitation is a law of nature by which some bodies are directed to others.
The existence of universal gravitation may be demonstrated a priori.
The theory of universal gravitation is developed as a body of geometrical science, but it starts from the data furnished by experience.
So that Newton's law is known as the law of Universal Gravitation, and its author is everywhere held as the greatest scientist of the ages.
Sir Isaac Newton, facile princeps of all philosophers, and the discoverer of the great law of universal gravitation.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "universal gravitation" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
