"Newton didn't create anything.......he merely noticed it...... " PP
Sir Isaac was born centuries before precision digital chronometers. So Newton's physics lab needed some other way to conduct is falling body experiments, with a time meter no more sophisticated than a pendulum.
So how did Newton, perhaps the greatest scientist in history solve this problem? He weakened gravity, or at least modified the force vector (measured in "Newtons").
I've read accounts of Einstein UNDERSTANDING his concepts, but not mastering the math until later. In contrast Newton not only knew calculus. Newton invented it.

You're in a very familiar mode here. I read you like a dime novel.
You're promoting your own delusion that you're superior to me, by telling me information I mastered in the previous millennium. Get over yourself.
On your feeble quibble over the number of Newton's laws, there's more than one way to teach it.
But I'm both a traditionalist, and a conservative. I have no problem adhering to the standards by which I've been taught for over half a century.
Let us begin our explanation of how Newton changed our understanding of the Universe by enumerating his Three Laws of Motion.

"his Three Laws of Motion."
I'll not dispute or even debate the hair-splitting point you're trying to make. Whatever you do with it you'll do without me. Your disagreement isn't with me. It's with the numerous authoritative sources such as the one I've quoted above.
The accelerating expansion of our cosmos is near the top of that list.

Unlike you?
Change your multiple "you" to "we", have your secretary type it up, and have it on my desk by morning, and I'll sign it. But your insinuation that your information is better than mine, or that you're superior to me in some substantial way on this issue is laughable, unless you're an astronomer, or astrophysicist. And I deduce that you are not.
So what do you plan to be for Halloween IN? Yourself? That'll scare the $#@! out of the children!
