 [[Newton]] [[scientific discovery|discovered]] that bodies which have equal [[heaviness]] have equal ''inertia'', i.e. that if the property of inertia is possed to an equal degree by two different [[substance]]s, the have equal heaviness. One of his [[proof]]s was founded on the celebrated guinea and feather [[experiment]], showing that the guinea and feather fall at the same rate when the resistance of the [[air]] is removed. Another was founded upon making pendulums of different substances—[[lead]], [[iron]], and [[wood]] to vibrate, and [[scientific observation|observing]] their times of [[vibration]]. This discovery is the very essence of the Newton's 'first great point' pertaining to the law of [[gravitation]]. The other is that the force between any two bodies diminishes as the distance increases, according to the law of inverse square of the distance.<ref name="KelvinTides"/>
