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.
