The legend goes that Isaac Newton was sitting under a tree when he was bonked on the head by a falling apple. this led him to come up with his law of gravity. to me, this version of the story is weird but I have a question. did he eat the apple that fell on him ? I would have surely done so.

I remember the story. But, I don't think he ate it. I think he practiced the law of gravity some more with it until the apple looked beat up and he threw it away and then he moved on to something else for law of gravity testing. Scientists do have to repeat the experiment to make sure it works all the time after all xD

This was years ago, when throwing apples up and watching them fall was experimenting. 😂
Seriously though, he was obviously timing it. I just need to check what timing mechanisms they had back then.

Thank you larrythepants for mentioning the point of " timing". the falling of things to the ground is so obvious and it happens all the time. it does not need a special setting of an apple tree with a shade and a young man relaxing under it to prove it. so it is the timing of the falling that he studied rather than the falling itself |
