Traditionally, this remark has been interpreted as indicating Newton's modesty, and his recognition that earlier scientists such as Johannes Kepler, Galileo and Descartes had laid the foundations for his laws of motion and his great work on gravity — which is odd, because in 1675 Newton had not made public
his ideas about gravity and motion.

But science is
about the HOW and the WHY of the physical world and there's no getting around math in determining, for example, how the moon's

ideas.
