first of all, there is no "empty space," in the sense
of Pascal's (assumedly perfect) Plenum -- which he discovered,
by experiment. second, as was told by the keynoter
at the 9th Annual Conference on Nonlinear Science,
Newton stole the inverse 2nd-power law from Hooke (and, anyway,
it has been said, the necessary math came from Huyghens and
others, algebraize Kepler's orbital constraints).
