"The Apple Incident"
The famous "apple incident" refers to the myth of Isaac Newtons first thoughts on gravity.
One day, Sir Isaac Newton was sitting under a tree when an apple fell from the tree and hit him on the head. He wondered if there was a force that made the apple propel downwards and why so. He formulated a theory of gravitation that a force (gravity) that made an apple fall to the ground also pull the moon towards the Earth.
