...that every particle of matter attracts every other particle, and suspected that the attraction varied as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance between them; but it is certain that he did not then know what the attraction of a spherical... | |

...every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force whose magnitude is directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their distances. Let us therefore consider one of the particles, A, of a comet, and let us represent... | |
