Therapy can be a meaningful space to reflect, grow, and create positive change in your life. Have you ever wondered whether physics can actually predict the future? In this video, we explore how Isaac Newton showed that the motion of a planet could be predicted from a single moment: its position and velocity right now. Starting with Kepler’s laws, the falling apple, the orbiting Moon, and Newton’s law of gravitation, we build a simple numerical method for generating a planetary orbit step by step. No ellipse is drawn by hand. No path is assumed. We simply apply Newton’s laws — and Kepler’s laws emerge. A story about gravity, motion, orbits, and how physics turned the future into something calculable. 🤝 Support the channel Patreon → https://www.patreon.com/physicsexplained 🔗 Follow me Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/physics_explained_ig X (Twitter) → https://twitter.com/PhysicsExplain1 Sources and Further Reading The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Volume I (Mechanics, Radiation, and Heat) https://feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_toc.html Classical Mechanics – John R.
