A better one in the earth is flat thread how many times are laws of physics repeated?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_law_of_universal_gravitation"Newton's law of universal gravitation"
'"Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.[note 1] This is a general physical law derived from empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.[1] It is a part of classical mechanics and was formulated in Newton's work Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("the Principia"), first published on 5 July 1687. When Newton presented Book 1 of the unpublished text in April 1686 to the Royal Society, Robert Hooke made a claim that Newton had obtained the inverse square law from him."
So if I say " that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers" in the earth is flat thread most people will know I paraphrased newton.

Unless you can prove the guy that asked the question was an alt of the op then he is not so good.
