The scientific apple.

One day while Newton was sitting in his garden under apple tree, he saw an apple fall to the ground. A greatmany people before him had seen an apple fall to the ground, but Newton was the first man to ask,’why does the apple fall to the ground? What makes it fall? Why does it not go up into the sky? Or why does it not go sideways when it leaves the tree?

He thought the matter over for a long time. It took him many years to solve the problem. At last he found out that the earth attracts all things towards its centre, and that this was the reason why the apple had fallen towards the ground and not from it.

Newton also found out that the Sun attracts the Earth and all the planets, and that each planet attracts other planets, just in the same way as the earth attracts apples.
