Newton's Second Law of Motion: RBF Restatement Of:

"The astrophysical chain of events altogether compounded to permit Newton's discovery of the only-metaphysically-statable gravitational law which showed that the intensity of the interattraction of any two celestial bodies is initially proportional to the product of their masses and varies at a rate of the second power of the arithmetical distances progressively intervening--double the distance and reduce the interattraction to one-quarter of its previous intensity."
