2 sty 2021 · From the Newtonian equation in 1687 and the expansion of its definitions to the discovery of gravitational waves in 2016, the understanding of gravity has considerably evolved throughout the years. From Aristotle to Newton: Early Scientific History of Gravity. Around 330 BCE: The Aristotelian Four Elements.
The existence of the gravitational constant was explored by various researchers from the mid-17th century, helping Isaac Newton formulate his law of universal gravitation. Newton's classical mechanics were superseded in the early 20th century, when Einstein developed the special and general theories of relativity.

Isaac Newton Summary. Isaac Newton was an English physicist and mathematician who was the culminating figure of the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century. In optics, his discovery of the composition of white light integrated the phenomena of colours into the science of light and laid the foundation for modern.
