In the late summer of 1665, a young Cambridge scholar named Isaac Newton fled the Great Plague of London to his family estate at Woolsthorpe Manor in Lincolnshire. Sitting in the orchard, so the legend goes, he watched an apple drop from a tree to the ground.

He didn’t ask what variety of apple it was. He asked a terrifyingly universal question: Why did it fall straight down to the center of the Earth, rather than sideways or upward? From that simple observation, he derived the inverse-square law of universal gravitation, unified terrestrial and celestial mechanics, and changed physics forever.
