His most important predecessors were galileo, descartes and huygens (huygens orbital motion. Galileo and descartes had ideas on time, space and motion (they thought time and physics (more specifically modern mechanics (cid:498)mechanical theory(cid:499)), and his ideas perfected galileo"s pendulum) The oscillating clock was a theory on the pendulum based on newton"s analysis of space were relative), and of (cid:498)quantity of matter(cid:499) and speed and direction as well. Newton"s (cid:498)quantity of matter(cid:499) is known as (cid:498)density(cid:499) or in other words mass/volume.
