Sir Isaac Newton first formulated the law of gravity in 1687, when he published his work "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy). In this groundbreaking work, he presented his three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. The law of gravity is often represented by the equation `F=G*(m1*m2)/r^2`, where `F` is the gravitational force, `G` is the gravitational constant, `m1` and `m2` are the masses of the two objects, and `r` is the distance between their centers.

There is some "drama" surrounding the discovery of the law of gravity, as it is often debated whether Newton was the sole discoverer or if he had built upon the work of others. The mathematician and astronomer Robert Hooke is known to have corresponded with Newton, and some historians believe that Hooke's ideas about gravity influenced Newton's work. There is also a rivalry between Newton and the German mathematician and astronomer Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, as they both independently developed the mathematical framework of calculus around the same time. However, the general consensus is that Newton was the first to develop the law of gravity in its complete mathematical form, and he is primarily credited with the discovery.
