<ul>
	<li>Isaac Newton: Mega-star physicist. 🤓
	<ul>
		<li>Developed a theory of gravitation.</li>
		<li>Came up with laws of motion.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>What&#39;s the deal with his gravitational law?
	<ul>
		<li>It&#39;s mathematical.</li>
		<li>It can&#39;t be proved (so, we just have to trust Sir Isaac on this one).</li>
		<li>He doesn&#39;t explain why two masses are attracted by gravity. It just...happens.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Dive Deeper: Topic D.1 will spill more beans on Newton&#39;s law, the cool math behind it, and the fun-filled implications of the law!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Plot Twist: Earth doesn&#39;t chase its tail; it orbits the Sun!</li>
	<li>The Heroes
	<ul>
		<li>Galileo Galilei and pals in the 16th century. They were brave enough to challenge the popular belief. And oh boy, did they face drama!
		<ul>
			<li>Real-life example: Imagine telling everyone that unicorns 🦄 are real and facing backlash for it. That&#39;s what it was like for Galileo!</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
		<li>But wait...Galileo wasn&#39;t the OG!
		<ul>
			<li>Copernicus (a math genius and sky-gazer from Poland) had already said, &quot;Sun&#39;s in the center, peeps!&quot; back in the 1540s. That&#39;s 90 years before Galileo joined the party!</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Ancient Celeb Cameo: Aristarchus! He was an ancient Greek stargazer.
	<ul>
		<li>Gave a shoutout to heliocentrism (Sun taking center stage) way back in the BCE times.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>12th and 13th-century Islamic astronomers weren&#39;t fans of a Sun-tours-Earth world tour.</li>
	<li>Copernicus gave shoutouts to
	<ul>
		<li>al-Battānī</li>
		<li>Thābit ibn Qurra</li>
		<li>al-Zarqālī</li>
		<li>ibn Rushd</li>
		<li>al-Bitruji</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Mysterious Twist: Copernicus&#39; notes were like a detective movie! He might&#39;ve omitted his mention of Aristarchus&#39; work. 🤔 Why? Well, the jury&#39;s still out.</li>
</ul>

Real-World Analogy: Imagine if Einstein had cited Newton and others for his theories but &quot;forgot&quot; to mention Galileo! That&#39;s a bit like Copernicus&#39; shoutouts without mentioning Aristarchus.

Remember: Science is like a relay race. One genius passes the baton to another. We learn, grow, and sometimes face challenges. But the spirit of discovery keeps the race alive! Keep studying, young physicist. The universe is yours to decode! 🌌🔭🧪
