Step-by-step explanation:

What is the Newtonian theory of relativity?

1. As Huygens had done, Newton presented the relativity principle as a fundamental principle, “Law 3”: The motions of bodies included in a given space are the same among themselves whether that space is at rest or moves uniformly in a straight line without circular motion (1684b, p. 40r.).

2. What is the theory of relativity in simple words?

What is general relativity? Essentially, it's a theory of gravity. The basic idea is that instead of being an invisible force that attracts objects to one another, gravity is a curving or warping of space. The more massive an object, the more it warps the space around it.Apr 13, 2018

Gravity -Whatever goes up Will come back down to Earth.

Throw a ball up it will fall down.

Newton took a feather and an iron ball and tossed them off the Leaning Tower of Pisa and both hit the ground at the same time. Thus he found GRAVITY :)
