Newton was sitting under an apple
tree and saw an apple falling. The falling of an apple was not happening first
time. That apple did not have any motive to show Newton how that falls. This is
a normal thing. It happens since this planet came into existence.
Undoubtedly, many people from many
generations would have seen apple falling from the tree. But Newton became the first
person who observed that very carefully and was passionately curious to know
why apple or any other objects from height falls down only, what that does not
go up, or any other direction. If the apple is falling down, then why the moon
is not falling down…? What is the reason …?
He tried to find the answer to
these questions from various sources, but nothing worked. Then, to extinguish
the fire of his curiosity, he started working on it by himself. After his years
of hard work and research he found the reason of falling an apple down that is –
gravitational force.
Science does not believe in anything
until and unless that is proved mathematically. To prove his gravitational
hypothesis, he required strong mathematical formulas. But, at that time, there
was no advance mathematics which can be sufficient to prove his hypothesis.
Without proving it mathematically,
any hypothesis is nothing but a myth story. In order to prove his theorem, he
started working on getting a strong mathematical formals for his theorem. In
this way, he developed Calculus to prove his theorem.
Whether Newton discovered
gravitational force and told to the world or not, it was there, it is and it would be. It was working in the same way,
the way it is working now, and it will keep working in the future too. What benefit
we got?
His discovered gravitational force
and Calculus gave a different dimension of science. Behind most of today`s
cosmic achievement is his given laws of gravitational force and Calculus.
Sending rockets to other planets and the cosmos is not less than a miracle, and
that miracle happens because of his discovered gravitational force and
Calculus.
Many discoveries, research and
inventions are the products of the curious mind which have made humans the
ruler of this planet over other creatures.
There are many things which are yet
to be discovered which can give a new dimension to the science and humanity.
There are many things happening around us
which appear so normal that we do not pay attention to. The people with great
observing power, observe those and with curious mind they work on that and
consequently, they give many amazing
inventions and discoveries to the world.
That is why - Einstein says– “I have no special talent. I am only
passionately curious”.
