Who Discovered Law of Gravity?

It is always Newton because it is inevitable. You learned about Gravity from Newton and even if you don't do time-travel and explain gravity to him, he will end up discovering it in one way or the other and the "kiddo you" (your original timeline's past self) would be learning about it in the future (your past).
Let's say Newton discovered Gravity on 26th July 1675 and you travelled to 25th July 1675 and explained Gravity to him and came back to the present, it won't change anything, it still won't change the fact that you learned about Gravity from Newton in the first place. Although you time-travelled and taught Newton about Gravity, that didn't change the origin story, you just preponed the event and saved Newton a lot of time.
That still didn't change the fact that Newton discovered it, It was still Newton, he would explain the world about Gravity just one day earlier, he would publish the work one day earlier in his name, then the "kiddo you" (now your original timeline's past's new future kiddo version) would be reading "Newton discovered Gravity" in the future (altered but not so altered future).
So it is Newton by all accounts. You can't change or challenge the inevitable (this inevitable is created by you, you made sure of it by travelling in time, you just preponed an event).
Am I making sense?

.. I will read later.. Well written
I thought of tag you what if newton sits under a coconut treeI am gravity
its easy for all of us.
You will be surprised to known that the theory of gravitation was created 1200 years before Newton by an Indian Mathematician Bhaskaracharya.
He was one of the most prominent astronomers and mathematicians of the 12th century. He is also considered as the greatest mathematician from the medieval era. He is known amongst the theorist for discovering principles on astronomy and calculus.
He wrote “Siddhānta Śiromaṇī” at the age of 36 in 1150 AD. He also contributed to “Surya Siddhanta” that was originally written by Aryabhatta.
The first principle of gravity was stated by “Bhaskaracharya” and “not Newton”
Bhaskaracharya stated the laws of gravity in the book Surya Siddhanta in 11th century. Thus the law actually exists even before the birth of Sir Isaac Newton (Newton was born in the 16th century).
Did Indian astronomers understand gravity before Newton?
An exhibition was held to spread awareness on India’s rich scientific heritage. The exhibition coordinator, Ashish Manjramkar stated
“Very few of us know that speed of light was known to Indians in Vedic period. A shloka says that the speed of light is 2202 yojana per half nimish. Yojana is a unit of distance which equals to 9.06 miles and half a nimish (nimishardha) is one tenth of a second. The figure is very close to the modern measurement of speed of light.” –Article Res
When we talk about gravity, the first name that pops into our heart is “Sir Isaac Newton”. In school we all have been told the story of how Newton was inspired to formulate “The Universal Law of Gravitation” when an apple fell from a tree. The world believes that Newton was the first to discover the gravitational concepts.

Here are some of the slokas from his book Surya Siddhanta that mentions how gravitation works :
“madhye samantandasya bhugolo vyomni tisthati
bibhranah paramam saktim brahmano dharanatmikam”
[Surya Sidhantha 12th chapter 32 sloka]
This means: The spherical earth stands at the centre of earth in space due to the dharanatmikam sakti which prevents earth from falling away and helps it to stand firm.
“akrsta saktisca mahi taya yat svastham guru svabhimukham svasaktya
akrsyate tatpatativa bhati same samantat kva patatviyam khe”
[Sidhanta Shiromani, Bhuvanakosa, 6th sloka]
This means: Every object falls on the ground due to earth’s force of attraction. This force allows the sun, earth, moon and constellations to stay in the orbit. – Article Res
Bhaskaracharya wrote a treatise name Lilavatiwhere he answers a question posed by his little daughter. In this book, he answers his daughter Lilavati’s curious questions.
In this book, he explains that earth has gravitational force (gurutvakarshan shakti). There is a mutual attraction between the planets and this allows them to hold themselves firmly in space.

Lol, I dont need the credits for sure.
I would simply sit next to him and might say these words to him, you are going to acheive great things in future.
Appreciate your help for the human kind. This is where he offers me Apple and I simply reject saying .....Have a break, Have a Kitkat..!!

Exactly, why to travel to past in first place when we already have you here in present. Lol...!!I am gravity
