Newton
Coined the terms gravity and centripetal force. Centripetal is claimed as the inward pulling force when moving in a curved path that maintains the curve. We supposedly feel an outward pull due to a body in motion resisting a change in direction.
There's a couple problems with evidence of a center seeking force Newton describes. A ball swung on a string when released exits tangent to the curved path. Claimed as proof of centripetal as the released ball goes straight. But wait.. Tangential from a curved path is still away from center as has been always known as centrifugal force. The other proofs are just as easily debunked. Newton knew gravity was fake and its nemesis and threat to heliocentrism was centrifugal force. He declared it to not be a real outward force but inward. Adding its force inward to bolster gravity. Newtons Jedi mid trick.
