Newton and his proponents were eventually able to clarify their position and to explain why the conic sections are the only possible solutions under the inverse square law. In 1720, Bernoulli finally gave up throwing spirals at Newton and acknowledged that the conic sections are the only possible paths of celestial bodies if the Law of Universal Gravitation holds true. Well done. We would not have had GPS or space telescopes without these guys.
