As I read about Newton and his journey to the discovery of Earth's Gravitational Force, I remembered the time I discovered gravity, so to speak, during my sophomore year in biology class. The teacher asked which would fall faster, a crumbled piece of paper or a pen. Most of the students guessed the pen would hit the ground first. To my surprise, both objects fell at the same rate. After this experience and reading "Apples and Oranges," I can relate to Newton's curiosity and thoughts as he studied the undeniable force that constantly pulls objects towards the Earth.
