A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding. -Sir Isaac Newton. In the early 1680s Newton published his theory on gravity. Newton’s theory proclaimed that gravity was basically a predictable force acting on […]
