In 1687, Newton published Principia Mathematica.
Motion, gravity, calculus—written in ink.
Here’s the original copy, annotated by Newton himself:

@PlantRobinson That was quite the thought provoker. Thanks for sharing! Oh and stuff like this, and your beautiful selfies, are why many of us would be noticeably sad if you went away. 🙏🥰

@JenResistedAGN The killing-firstborn-sons one is a winner because the all-knowing being needed help knowing which houses to hit 😂

@LensScientific That’s true but he stayed up really late working on it. 👍😂

You guys, what do you think my midlife crisis should be? Illicit affair? Tattoos?

@HonestPassion13 That is worthy of an external scream. Congratulations!

@aliciaandrz It has always intrigued me that our brains, the so-called pinnacle of evolution, contains so much self-destructive programming. 🤷♂️😂

@sadgirlcassi In general I’m not a fan of the death penalty because of general government incompetence, but in this clown’s case I’m willing to make an exception 😂🖕

@therealkokopup That’s the absolute nicest way to summarize his utter failure as a human being 😂

@mathemetica At least mention that your derivation is for the special circular orbit case (ε=0) but Kepler’s 3rd Law applies to all elliptical orbits (ε≠0).
English

On this day in 1618, Johannes Kepler confirmed his Third Law of Planetary Motion:
The square of a planet’s orbital period (T²) is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (a³). The modern Newtonian derivation:
> Equating gravitational force to centripetal force
> Substituting orbital velocity v = 2πr/T
> Resulting in T² / r³ = 4π² / (GM)
The log-log graph confirms the relationship holds for planets in our Solar System. A foundational law that bridged empirical observation with gravitational physics.
