When Hooke's claim was made known to Newton, who hated disputes, Newton threatened to withdraw and suppress Book 3 altogether, but Halley, showing considerable diplomatic skills, tactfully persuaded Newton to withdraw his threat and let it go forward to publication.
Dec 20, 2007 · In the early stages of his work on the Principia Newton had identified three logically equivalent alternatives for the third law: the action-reaction principle he ultimately chose, the principle we call conservation of linear momentum (Corollary 3 in the Principia), and the principle that “the common center of gravity of two or more bodies ...
The Principia, in its final form, consists of four prefaces, a set of “Definitions,” “Axioms, or the Laws of Motion,” books 1 and 2 on “The Motion of Bodies,” book 3 on “The System of the World,” and a concluding “General Scholium.”.

The Principia was the culmination of the movement that had begun with Copernicus and Galileo —the first scientific synthesis based on the application of ...

The reasoning behind Newton's conclusion does not presuppose the law of gravity, for all Newton required was something established in the original ”De Motu“ tract, namely that the relative strengths of the centripetal accelerations (at equal distances) toward Saturn, Jupiter, the Earth, and the Sun vary as the invariant ratio between the ...
