When the astronomical revolution of the sixteenth century — in which the Italian philosophers of the Renaissance played a far more important role than historians of science admit — removed the universal cosmic clock, there were two alternative ways open to physics and philosophy of nature: either to retain the relational theory of time and to hold with Bruno (Bruno 1879, p. 144) that «there are as many times as there are the stars» (tot tempora quot astra), since there is no body possessing a privileged rotation motion, and the only body which allegedly had it — the sphere of the fixed stars — has been swept away; or to save the unity and homogeneity of time by separating it from any particular motion — and this is what Newton did, anticipated in this respect by Isaac Barrow and, in particular, Gassendi.
