After reading "Apples and Oranges", I found it quite extraordinary that something as simple as an apple falling from a tree, could strike the motivation of Newton to wonder why it happened to the apple, but not to the moon. Something even more extraordinary was the fact that after progressing into adulthood, he still was determined to figure out the true reason why this phenomenon occured in this manner. Through his old equation for this occurrence, Newton was able to develop a new equation that would become one of the most well known and celebrated equations in the world. It's funny how Newton's perspective from when he was younger and when he was older both contributed to this significant finding. It was almost as if two different people had a stake in coming up with the equation, but in reality it was the effects of time on a person's mind that lead to the discovery.
