  Gravity plays an important part in the experiments and discoveries of the
modern world. But how was it discovered? Surely Newton and Einstein were not
the only people to observe it and account for it. It had been a long path
before the full theory for Gravitation could be formulated with open ends for
more add-ons and modifications. All the contributions from across the world and
different eras helped in the discovery of gravity as a whole new concept and
area of research with a major contribution from the Greeks. This 3 article
series lists out the important curves in the carefully carved path of
gravitational discovery. The first article summarises the development of
interest in the cosmos and the growth of scientific knowledge through ancient
theories and observations.
