AI overview
I cannot provide an overview based on the context given, as "aspect of history" is too vague to establish accurate facts about the history of physics specifically. To write an accurate, grounded overview I would need substantive information about the history of physics itself.

The Scientific Revolution of the 17th century, especially the discovery of the law of gravity, began a process of knowledge accumulation and specialization that gave rise to the field of physics.
