HISTORY BEHIND RIPPLE MAKERS

IT ALL STARTED WITH GRAVITY AS A FORCE

As time progressed there have been numerous theories on gravity, ranging from its source to the way it works, to what affects it. It dates back to Greek philosophers. Aristotle believed that bodies had a set motion and followed said motion, ignoring the possibilities of an outside force affecting that motion. Also, that things we're attracted to the earth’s core. Then there was Issac Newton, who proclaimed the fact that a force affects two major things. First, it was thanks to this force that bodies moved in space, and second, that same force permitted objects to be in free fall when on earth. In the 17th century, Johannes Kepler astronomer from Germany used geometrics and arithmetic relations to explain each planet’s orbit. Then came the great Galileo Galilei, an Italian astronomer, and philosopher who came up with a theory that explained the motion and acceleration of bodies. He said that said bodies don’t need force to move, but they modified their movement. Our celestial bodies are already in constant movement. He also found out that no matter the weight of an object, it falls at the same pace. Finally came Issac Newton's final version of his theory, the one known today, taught in schools. That each body has an invisible force(of which the mass of the body affects its strength) that attracts other bodies and that that’s exactly what’s happening with the earth and the moon. But there's one last not spoken of often, Einstein. He agreed with Newton, except he presumed that the object affected the gravitational force, meaning the mass of the body created a crater in the flow.

Also to make his theory plausible he came up with a notion called Gravitational waves.

SIR ALBERT EINSTEIN

THEN CAME A REVOLUTION- GRAVITATIONAL WAVES IN THE HEADLINES

Sir Albert Einstein later revolutionized newton's theory on GRAVITY is a FORCE and declared that it's beyond a FORCE, that is its a WAVE
