Solution

Isaac Newton gave us the universal law of gravitation.

Explanation:

  1. According to Isaac Newton, every object in this universe attracts every other object around it with a force, whose magnitude is directly proportional to the product of their masses and indirectly proportional to the square of the distance between them. Newton named this force as ‘Gravitational Force’.
  2. The above statement is called ‘ the universal law of Gravitation '.

Hence, Isaac Newton gave us the universal law of gravitation.
