I can provide a detailed breakdown or a list of book recommendations for any of these areas.
In 1687, Newton changed everything by publishing the Principia . He gave us a "clockwork" universe.
(e.g., gravity, light, thermodynamics, black holes)
Thinkers like Copernicus and Kepler shifted the focus. They moved the Earth from the center of the universe, using math to describe planetary orbits. The Age of Mechanics: Isaac Newton
The realization that systems naturally move toward disorder (the "arrow of time").
Einstein reimagined gravity. It’s not a "pull," but a curve in the fabric of space-time caused by mass.
💡 Physics evolves by absorbing old truths into larger, more accurate frameworks. Newton wasn't "wrong"; his rules are just a subset of Einstein’s reality. To help you dive deeper into a specific era or figure:
