Paradox of radiation of charged particles in a gravitational field continuously "upward". Whether the acceleration is from motion or from gravity makes no difference in the laws of physics. One can also understand it in terms of the equivalence of so-called gravitational mass and inertial mass. The mass in Newton's law of universal gravitation (gravitational mass) is the same as the mass in Newton's second law of motion (inertial mass). They cancel out when equated, with the result discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1638, that all bodies fall at the same rate in a gravitational field, independent of their mass. A famous demonstration of this principle was performed on the
Elements of the Philosophy of Newton mutual Action of Bodies upon Light. Of the Resemblance between the seven Primitive Colours and the seven Notes in Musick. Introductory Ideas concerning Gravity and the Laws of Attraction: That the Opinion of a subtil Matter, Vortices, and a Plenitude, ought to be rejected (But not that subtile Aether which Sir Isaac makes the Cause of Attraction, Refraction, Animal Motion, &c. which pervades the Universe). That the Vortices and Plenitude of Descartes are impossible, and consequently that there is some other Cause of Gravity. What is meant by Vacuity and Space, without which there could be neither Gravity nor Motion.
