At the time of Isaac Newton, the celestial bodies are set into motion by the so-called ether,

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,500
a substance that is supposed to fill the entire universe.

5
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:18,000
But no one has been able to prove this substance.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Newton recognizes: Instead of ether, there must be a universal long-distance effect,

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
which starts from the heavenly bodies themselves:

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000
the heavier a body is, the stronger its attraction.

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,311
So the heavenly bodies keep each other on their orbits.
