Unmarked changes are underlined in wavy red. Hover over themTap them or see the explanation below. Checked using the pattern . and the Myers algorithm.

Suggested fix

The quote with each unmarked change either marked or undone. It passes the check.

The discovery of the laws of dynamics, or the laws of motion, was a dramatic moment in the history of science. Before Newton’s time, the motions of things like … planets were a mystery, but after Newton there was complete understanding. [Eve] slight deviations from Kepler’s laws, due to the perturbations of the planets, were computable. The motions of pendulums, oscillators…could all be analyzed completely after Newton’s laws were enunciated.

The discovery of the laws of dynamics, or the laws of motion, was a dramatic moment in the history of science. Before Newton’s time, the motions of things like the planets were a mystery, but after Newton there was complete understanding. Even the slight deviations from Kepler’s laws, due to the perturbations of the planets, were computable. The motions of pendulums, oscillators with springs and weights in them, and so on, could all be analyzed completely after Newton’s laws were enunciated.
