Origin era places a mathematical concept in the period when it was first developed. Wikipedia dates the modern study of set theory to work begun "in the 1870s," followed soon after by the "discovery of paradoxes within naive set theory" that forced mathematicians to rebuild it on firmer footing. Browsing by origin era traces how mathematical ideas have built on each other over time.

Newton's theory of motion, culminating in his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) in 1687, modeled three Galilean laws of motion along with Newton's law of universal gravitation on a framework of absolute space-hypothesized by Newton as a physically real entity of Euclidean geometric structure extending infinitely in all directions-while presuming absolute time, supposedly justifying knowledge of absolute motion, the object's motion with respect to absolute space.
