That STARTED him thinking of the laws of motion, the attraction of objects like the moon circling the earth because of attraction which we call gravity. And he came up with proof that if you doubled the distance between two objects the attraction is the square root of the attraction of their original position. He was a genius if his day. Remember this was in the latter part if the 1600's to early 1700's.
If I were asked the greatest inventor of all time it would be hard to choose. Archimedes, Leonardo da Vinci, Tesla. There are those who would be able to add more to the list but these are INVENTORS not theorists like Einstein for instance.
IIN I idolize Nikola Tesla
