众所周知,艾萨克·牛顿(IsaacNewton)发现万有引力的故事与苹果从树上掉落有关。据他本人叙述,他当时是在埃尔斯索普庄园的家里靠着窗台坐着,看见一个苹果从树上垂直掉下来,于是联想到引力的普适性。一个更为夸张的说法是,当时牛顿正端坐在一棵苹果树下苦思冥想,突然一个苹果落下,正好砸中了他的头,使得他的脑海中灵光乍现,刹那之间明白了引力的奥妙。无论如何,后人都愿意相信是神奇的苹果带给了牛顿神奇的灵感,由此成就了一桩千古佳话。2009年,伦敦帝国学院的里卡多·托
It is well-known that Isaac Newton's finding of the story of gravitation is related to the fall of an apple from a tree. According to his own account, he was sitting by the window sill at Elshorpe's Manor House and saw an apple falling vertically from the tree, so he reminded of the universality of gravity. A more exaggerated argument is that when Newton was sitting meditating under an apple tree, suddenly an apple fell, just smashed his head, making the light in his mind came to light, in an instant understand gravitational secret. In any case, future generations are willing to believe that the magic of Apple brought Newton's magical inspiration, thus achieving a eternal story. 2009, Ricardo Torre, Imperial College London
