    Aristotle was one of the first to write about gravity.  Although, there is a great scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey where a bone becomes a space ship, so maybe the pre-humans wondered, “why does that stuff fall?”.  Later Galileo and Newton tested the theories proving certain truths, and Einstein created more theories with mathematical…
