English Discussion–The falling apple

Hi everyone,
FallingApple
Today, chị Đông Vy has an interesting quote, “Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton asked why.”

Would you like to write something related to that quote?

Have fun!

  1. In my opinion, the above quote is only a literary expression. I am certain that Newton is not the first man asked why the apple ( or anything else) fail, he is just the first man who can explain this phenomenon.
    The quote seems to discriminate the talent of Newton from others. But I think that an inventor can not devise his invention from the scratch;he must rely on knowledge he gained from earlier generation. I can summarize it in an Edison’s quote parody ” An invention has only 1% belongs to its inventor, 99% belongs to human society”:D . Newton himself once said that he “only stand on the shoulder of giant”.
