IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER APPLE

We all know the story of Sir Isaac Newton: He’s hit in the head with an apple, and it launches all of his world-changing thoughts, theories and laws. 

But did he really invent anything new? Did he create something or cause anything new to happen? It all existed already. We all experience gravity, motion and physics every day. We all could have predicted the apple was going to hit the ground. What made him uniquely different was that he saw an urgency to measure it. 

What are the different forces at work? What are the amounts of those forces? How do they all fit together? How does one event validly and reliably predict that something else will happen? How much of it can we truly measure?
