Final answer:

Isaac Newton turned Copernican and Galilean theories into indisputable facts by presenting a reasonable and demonstrable model for the workings of the universe, including the law of gravity.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to turn Copernican and Galilean theories into indisputable facts, Isaac Newton presented a reasonable and demonstrable model for the workings of the universe in his book, Philosphia Naturalis Principia Mathematica. Newton's concepts, such as his Law of Gravity, provided a predictable and comprehensible framework to understand the world and beyond. By proposing an exact mathematical form and showing how heavenly bodies should move, Newton's theories were backed by empirical evidence and laid the foundation for understanding gravitation.

Isaac Newton, born in 1642, studied math and the nature of light and gravitation at Trinity College in Cambridge inspired by the discoveries made by Johannes Kepler, Robert Boyle, Galileo Galilei and Nicolaus Copernicus. Helping even making the theories of these two last scientific into indisputable facts.

Regarding the theory of Galileo Galilei, which argues that planets revolve around the sun, not the earth. Newton’s position was that the universe worked like a machine and thus it was governed by simple laws. Claiming that mathematics was the best way to not only explain but also prove those laws.

Similarly, when the Copernican heliocentric theory was not accepted by the scientific community, Isaac Newton was The most famous supporter of this theory, helping to explain the force of gravity, that all bodies exert on each other.
