Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy.

Do not Bodies act upon Light at a distance, and by their action bend its Rays and is not this action (caeteris paribus) [all else being equal] strongest at the least distance?
Isaac Newton
Image
He that in ye mine of knowledge deepest diggeth, hath, like every other miner, ye least breathing time, and must sometimes at least come to terr. alt. for air.

How came the bodies of animals to be contrived with so much art, and for what ends were their several parts? Was the eye contrived without skill in Opticks, and the ear without knowledge of sounds?...and these things being rightly dispatch’d, does it not appear from phænomena that there is a Being incorporeal, living, intelligent...?
Isaac Newton

If I am anything, which I highly doubt, I have made myself so by hard work.

Definition of inertia: 'The vis insita, or innate force of matter, is a power of resisting by which every body, as much as in it lies, endeavours to preserve its present state, whether it be of rest or of moving uniformly forward in a straight line.
Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton was asked how he discovered the law of gravity. He replied, By thinking about it all the time.
Isaac Newton
Image
The alternation of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.
Isaac Newton

I do not feign hypotheses.
Isaac Newton
Image
I have not been able to discover the cause of those properties of gravity from phenomena, and I frame no hypotheses for whatever is not deduced from the phenomena is to be called a hypothesis, and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, whether of occult qualities or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy.
