Story of Newton and the Falling Apple || A Symbol of Newtonian Genius

The term scientist and Newton is now closely related. If you are told the name of a scientist, I bet the scientist Newton must be among the first names to come to your mind. The greatest sage of all time was born on the great Christmas Day on December 25, 1642 according to the Julian calendar. His father, senior Isaac Newton, was a wealthy farmer. Newton's father died three months before his birth. Newton was immortal at birth. His size was so small that his mother, Hannah Auskoff, described it as Newton so small that he could be kept inside a quart mug. Quartet mugs hold about 1.1 liters of water. Hannah remarried Reverend Barnabas Smith when Newton was three. Hannah moved into Smith's family. Newton was left by his grandmother Margery Ayuskoff. Newton disliked his stepfather. He starts thinking of his mother as an enemy to marry a second time. Till the age of 19, he committed various petty crimes against them. He threatened to destroy his mother and stepfather and their house. It is alleged that Newton tried that too. But no clear document of this incident is available. Newton never married.

From the age of twelve to seventeen, Newton studied “the King's School’ in Grantham. He was expelled from school in October 1659. Newton returned to his mother in his native Ulsthorpe. Hannah was then widowed for the second time. Hannah engaged her son in farming. When the education is not done, let the father do the profession. Much like our Bengali guardian. Newton does not like all these cultivations. King's School teacher Henry Stokes convinced Newton's mother that her son should finish his education. As a result, Newton went to school again. His classmates beat him in the school grounds. Newton established himself as a top ranked student by getting the highest marks.

Newton did not stop. Newton was successful in various fields such as light, speed, mass, velocity, energy, astronomy, calculus. Scientist Newton is an unforgettable name in the history of science. After completing his schooling, he entered college. The apple tree under Newton's dormitory is an end for science. Everyone knows the story. I summarize. Newton was sitting under an apple tree reading a book. Just as mango jam kadbel trees are commonly found in our country, apple trees are also found in their country. You think that leaving a ripe apple on the tree makes you feel like a book! But Newton loved to read. He is reading a book. Suddenly an apple fell on his head. If an apple fell in front of us, we would pick it up to eat it. But Newton did not. A new thought came to his mind. Why apples fall down from trees. He could have gone to the sky. So why come to earth. Gravitational force was discovered.

Newton discovered three laws of motion. The three sources are compiled in his book of interpretations, Philosophy Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principal of Natural Philosophy). The book was first published in 1687. Newton died on March 20, 1727 at the age of 84 in Kensington, Middle Sex, Great Britain.
