Kepler's Laws (8.10)

In this video, I show that Isaac Newton's three laws, when coupled with his universal law of gravitation, give Kepler's three laws, a feat that Newton accomplished in 1687 in his Principia. I also show that the periods and semimajor axes of planetary and asteroid orbits obey Kepler's third law to high precision. The result is one of the most profound and historically significant results in physics. It showed for the first time that mathematical laws can describe nature.
