Question

Summarize the progression of thought about motion from the time of the ancient Greeks to modern times

Answer 1

The Greeks thought that stuff happened because it was their nature, Isaac Newton later made his three laws of motion in the 1600s formed classical mechanics.

Claudius Ptolemaeus (85-165 AD) or Ptolemy believed Aristotle's theory that the Sun, Moon, and planets circled the Earth. However, he improved it to account for the fact that planets sometimes appear to travel backward across the sky, called retrograde motion.
