Newton's superb theorem: simplicity through symmetry

Описание к видео Newton's superb theorem: simplicity through symmetry

My entry to the Summer of Math Exposition contest (SoME1).

Newton's superb theorem (also called the shell theorem) says that a spherically symmetric body affects external objects gravitationally as if all of its mass were concentrated at a point at its center. This video is my take on a relatively new proof of the theorem, which presents a geometric argument without calculus.
