Sir Isaac Newton did not INVENT gravity. He may have invented a formula for it but he wasn't like "hmm i think i'll make everything be pulled towards the center of the Earth today...sounds like a good solution to my daily problems."

Newton didn't INVENT gravity. He (arguably) discovered it and gave it a name and explained its properties. It's not like gravity didn't exist before Newton, he just came up with a way to quantify it.
That said, who's to say that if Newton didn't explain it, no one else in the whole history of the world would have come up with the same stuff?

He didn't invent gravity. He analyzed it mathematically. But it was there already for all to see.
We might, on the other hand, have done perfectly well without calculus, for which we can indeed blame old Sir Isaac. We would never have invented nuclear weapons without it.

He didn't invent gravity.
The question was not whether gravity existed, but whether it extended so far from Earth that it could also be the force holding the moon to its orbit. Newton showed that if the force decreased as the inverse square of the distance, one could indeed calculate the Moon's orbital period, and get good agreement. He guessed the same force was responsible for other orbital motions, and hence named it "universal gravitation".

first off isaac newton did NOT invent gravity. he simply discovered it and named it. If he hadn't have found it, some one else would have, and if not it still would be there. so either way life would still be the same

I don't quite think he "invented" gravity so much as named and explained it. Gravity is a natural phenomenon caused by the earth's rotation. It's not man-made.

He didn't *invent* gravity. He just explained how it existed

he didn't invent gravity. it was always there. he was just the first person to make a reasonable observation about it. if he hadn't, someone else would have noticed it.

He didn't invent it, but I understand your question. In my opinion, no, because there are so much technology based on his theory. Also, if not for his explanations, many of the physic laws wouldn't exist.
