@abakcus The Principia was such an important, influential book that I wrote a book about it!

In 1687, Newton published Principia Mathematica. Motion, gravity, calculus—written in ink. Here’s the original copy, annotated by Newton himself: cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/PR-ADV-B-…

@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. 🙏🥰

In 1697, Jean Bernoulli gave mathematicians 6 months to solve the brachistochrone problem. Isaac Newton received the challenge on January 29, and solved it the same night before going to bed.

@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 😂🖕

@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).

Mathematica@mathemetica·
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.
