Something went wrong.          Sexual Content Surviving manuscripts of the 1660s also show Newton's interest in planetary motion and that by 1669 he had shown, for a circular case of planetary motion, that the force he called 'endeavour to recede' (now called centrifugal force) had an inverse-square relation with distance from the center. The new and final Book 2 was concerned largely with the motions of bodies through resisting mediums. The Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics. natural philosopher Robert Hooke, Anthony Lucas, mathematical professor at Liege; Francis Line, The section contains Newton's proof that a massive spherically symmetrical body attracts other bodies outside itself as if all its mass were concentrated at its centre. These postulates, called Newton’s laws of motion, are set forth below. [76] Newton also acknowledged to Halley that his correspondence with Hooke in 1679–80 had reawakened his dormant interest in astronomical matters, but that did not mean, according to Newton, that Hooke had told Newton anything new or original: "yet am I not beholden to him for any light into that business but only for the diversion he gave me from my other studies to think on these things & for his dogmaticalness in writing as if he had found the motion in the Ellipsis, which inclined me to try it ...". I certainly haven’t read it all, despite the fact that I spent several years studying the history and philosophy of physics at a postgraduate level and have written a paper on the interpretation of philosophical arguments that Newton employs. A fair-copy draft of Newton's planned second volume De motu corporum, Liber secundus still survives, and its completion has been dated to about the summer of 1685.

Many of the letters are lost, but it is clear that Flamsteed was helpful, especially regarding Kepler's definition of Saturn.
