Examples
- Newton's theory of gravity revolutionized our understanding of the universe by explaining the behavior of celestial bodies and the forces governing their motion.
- The theory of gravity holds that objects with mass warp the fabric of spacetime, creating gravitational fields that attract other objects with mass.
- Albert Einstein's groundbreaking theory of gravity reshaped the field of physics, introducing the concept of general relativity to the scientific community.
- According to the theory of gravity, the gravitational force between two objects decreases rapidly as the distance between them increases, following the inverse square law.
- Developed by Sir Isaac Newton, the theory of gravity provides a fundamental explanation for the natural phenomena observed in the world around us.
