7: The Theory of Gravitation - The Feynman Lectures on Physics
: If the distance between two objects doubles, the gravitational force between them is reduced to one-fourth of its original strength.
Proposed in 1687, Newton’s model treats gravity as a "tug of war" between any two masses in the universe.
: Every particle of matter attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. Mathematical Formula :
