	Nicolas Fatio de Duillier
		Nicolas Fatio de Duillier (1664-1753) was a Genevan mathematician and polymath, who for a time in the 1680s and 1690s, was a close friend of Isaac Newton.
		Fatio sought an explanatory theory of gravitation and was the first to propose a so-called "push theory" of gravity: objects of mass emit particles which create pushing forces on other objects (van Lunteren 2002).
		Frans van Lunteren [2002]: "Nicolas Fatio de Duillier on the mechanical cause of universal gravitation," in: Edwards [2002].

	Fatio, Lesage, and the Camisards
		Nicolas Fatio (1664-1753) conceived the idea that the apparent force of gravitational attraction between material objects might be due to an imbalance of repulsive forces arising from the impacts of tiny rapidly moving corpuscles from the nether regions of space.
		Fatio also noted that the lack of appreciable drag on moving objects could be explained by postulating a sufficiently high speed for the corpuscles.
		Interestingly, Nicolas Fatio died when Lesage was 19, and we are told by Bernard Gagnebin (who wrote a historical introduction to Fatio’s paper on gravity when it was finally published in the Notes of the Royal Society in 1948) that “a few years after Fatio’s death” Lesage set about to acquire Fatio’s papers.

		A Newtonian, the Swiss mathematician, Nicolas Fatio de Duillier (1664 - 1753) was one of a circle of admirers celebrating the now internationally recognized Isaac Newton following the publication of the Principia Mathematica.
		Notes of an extended conversation between Fatio and David Gregory dated between late 1691 to mid-1694 exist from when the latter was cut off from face to face contact with his mentor.
		Fatio remained a staunch supporter of Newton concerning the priority dispute with Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, because he published in 1699, a contract, in which he stated that Newton was not only the certified first, but by many years the first inventor, and insinuated that Leibniz had stolen it.

	Nicolas Fatio and the Cause of Gravity
		Fatio also stresses the fact that, to produce a given amount of gravity, we can suppose the bombarding particles are arbitrarily small by assuming the speeds of those particles is arbitrarily great, which automatically diminishes the drag induced by the movement of coarse bodies to a negligible amount.
		Fatio valued very highly his theory of the true cause of gravity, and managed to get Halley, Huygens, and Newton to affix their signatures to a copy of his treatise in 1690 and 1691, attesting that they had examined it on those dates.
		Fatio says he himself was “detained” by this objection for three years, but eventually convinced himself that the momentum flux of the rebounding particles would be lower than of the incident flux, because of the lower speed, despite the increased spatial density.

		Newton's friend, Nicolas Fatio de Duillier, felt that he had the answer and, for a time in the early 1690s, it seemed possible that he might produce a new edition of the Principia.
		With Fatio's prompting, he reconsidered the possibility that some sort of subtle matter or aether might be responsible for the effects of gravity.
		In the manuscript of 'De motu corporum liber secundus' (see catalogue number 7), Newton gave an account of the fluid heavens through which both planets and comets were propelled by a force that obeyed the inverse square law.

		As a consequence, in November, Halley received a nine-page tract known as 'De motu' ('Concerning motion'), which sketched in an orbital dynamics virtually identical to that which appears in the Principia.
		He confronted the problem inherent in his correlation of the moon's orbit with g, that he was treating the apple (in the well-known story) as though it were attracted not to the surface but to the centre of the earth.
		In a final tour de force, in what Newton called the most difficult demonstration in the work, he succeeded in reducing the observed positions of the great comet of 1680-81 to a conical orbit, a parabola in the first edition, later an ellipse.

		De Moivre published his first mathematical paper in the Philosophical Transactions in the early 90's--in all fifteen papers in the Philosophical Transactions.
		De Moivre left France because of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
		De Moivre was always looking for patronage, which he never seriously found, and with several others (I think especially of the French mathematician in the Netherlands--Girard, I think--and of Michelini) he illustrates the possible tragic face of the system of patronage.

		In 1927 it was the Belgian priest and astronomer-cosmologist Georges Lemaitre, using the cosmological equations of Friedmann, who suggested for the first time that the universe once could have sprung from a point of very high-density, the primaeval atom.
		Another link in the realization of the big bang model was the Dutch astronomer-cosmologist Willem de Sitter, who suggested in 1917, together with Einstein, the de-Sitter-universe, which was based on the formulae of the General Theory of Relativity.

	antigravity
		The origins of the idea of gravitational shielding go back to Nicolas Fatio de Duillier, a Swiss mathematician and one-time close friend of Isaac Newton.
		When Newton admitted he didn’t know how gravity really worked, de Duillier suggested, in 1690, that it arose as a shadowing effect associated with the absorption by material bodies of minute particles.
		Subsequently, Bottlinger’s results were criticized by the Dutch astronomer Willem de Sitter, and Einstein tried to supply an alternative explanation in terms of changes of the Earth’s rotation due to tidal effects.
