What is Newtonian cosmology?
Newtonian cosmology is a theory developed by Isaac Newton in the late 17th century that explains the structure of the universe and its evolution over time.
It is based on Newton's laws of motion, the law of universal gravitation, and his mathematical analysis of the motion of objects in space.
Newtonian cosmology states that the universe is composed of an infinite number of stars, which are held together by gravity and are in constant motion.
It also suggests that the universe is expanding, and that the galaxies are moving away from each other due to the expansion.
The theory also postulates that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic, meaning that it looks the same in all directions and has the same properties at all points.
Newtonian cosmology also states that the universe is expanding at a constant rate and that the universe has a finite age.
It also suggests that the universe will eventually reach a point of maximum expansion, at which point it will start to contract.
