Abstrakt: | THE correspondence between Hooke and Newton in November and December 1679 dealing with experiments on falling bodies led to bitterness and to the final break between them. But “it must be looked upon as one of the greatest and most fortunate events, since it was the direct cause of the composition of the Principia”. |
