Isaac Newton: Why Did It Exist?
But now we still have the question of why anything orbits something else. The reasons are complicated but the first good explanation was provided by one of the greatest scientists ever, Isaac Newton, who lived in England about 300 years ago. He was very well known when he was alive, being admired by many people for answering some of the most difficult and fascinating scientific questions of his day, but I'm sorry to say his long life generally was not a happy one. I wonder how he would have felt to know that even hundreds of years after his death, he is widely considered to be one of the most brilliant, important, and productive scientists ever to have lived.
