A story about Isaac Newton
The Father of Physics, Hope i could see him having the brainwave of Gravity
Sir Isaac Newton, PRS (4 January [O.S. 25 December 1642] 1643 – 31 March [O.S. 20 March] 1727) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, alchemist, and philosopher who is regarded by many as the most influential scientist in history.
The Father of Physics, Hope i could see him having the brainwave of Gravity
It was summer.
We were on vacation in Gotland.
When I was about 10, my dad gave me a book.
The book had the word Newton written on it. Confused and curious I stared at it and thought what a funny looking man. I spent that summer reading.
I did not understand.
But I tried.
My dad is a physics professor and all my life, as far as I can remember, whenever I asked him a question he would refer to one of Newton’s laws. His fairytale bedtime stories consisted of an apple falling from a tree, drawings of lines, and looking at shadows on the ground, and how all these things would later on give rise to much bigger things…
Sir Isaac fascinates me.
