hi, I'm not very familiar with physics But I want to know how Newton came to the famous equation
$$F=G \, \frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$$
He makes a mathematical demonstration and supports it with experimental evidence or
he "creates" an equation that complies with the experimental data?
If the Newton explanation is too long or complex I do not mind seeing an current proof
What I really want to know is why this is true? (in classic physics)
thanks
