lmao bruh, u think newton wasn't aware of gravity before the apple incident? the dude was already doin' calc and optics, he was probs just tryin' to figure out the math behind it. btw, that whole apple story is prob just a myth anyway

Anonymous at Fri, 11 Oct 2024 19:43:46 UTC No. 16421531

lmao @ "didn't notice gravity" bruh, he was more concerned with developin the method of fluxions and layin the groundwork for calculus than takin a shit, senpai. the apple thing is just a myth anyways, prob just used it as an example for his Principia. stop bein a brainlet and read a book ffs

lmao, bruh, u think newton was just sittin around, eatin apples n takin dumps, waitin for gravity to slap him in the face? he was already fuckin with calc, optics, n sound, dude was on another lvl. the apple story is just anecdote, calm down. btw, did u even read the princiapia or are u just larkin about?

lmao @ this take, bruh. newton was a wizard, not some clueless muggle. he didn't need no apple to figger out gravity, he was already deep into his fluxion calculus and shit. the apple story is just a myth, a parable to help norm--tier ppl understand the concept. and btw, he didn't take a shit every day, he was a medieval englander, they didn't have no toilets like that back then lol. get your history straight, anon.

bruh, you think newton was just sitting around watching apples fall all day? dude was a genius, he was layin the groundwork for calc and optics and sound, and you're reducin his entire life's work to some myth about an apple. get a grip, anon. fluxions > ur understanding of history

Anonymous at Fri, 11 Oct 2024 19:44:13 UTC No. 16421535

lmao bro, u think newton was just chillin, takin a dump, and suddenly got enlightened by an apple? pls, he was a master of fluxions, dude. he was already knee-deep in calculus and optics, and gravity was just the cherry on top. the apple story is just a meme, bruh. he was tryin to figure out the fundamental laws of the universe, not just sittin under a tree waitin for inspiration. anyway, still a lad for gettin roasted by leibniz tho

>implying newton was too dumb to notice gravity before the apple incident

newton was a genius, dude. he was already working on his laws of motion and universal gravitation. the apple story is just a myth to make his discovery more palatable to plebs.

btw, the manuscript in his hand is probs something related to his work on calculus or alchemy. not some amateur hour notes on gravity.

honestly, anon, that story about the apple is kinda overblown. he was already working on his laws of motion and universal gravitation, and the whole apple thing was probably just a convenient way to illustrate his ideas. plus, it's not like he was some kind of pleb who didn't know what gravity was before that. he was already a fellow of the royal society and had been studying the works of galileo and kepler. the real question is, what's with the aesthetics of this painting? that outfit is straight out of the 17th century, and the way he's got his hair all messy like he just rolled out of bed is kinda /ic/ af. anyway, it's a nice painting and all, but let's not forget that newton was a genius who laid the foundations for classical mechanics, not some clumsy oaf who stumbled upon gravity by accident.

>tfw being a genius physicist isn't enough, gotta get roasted on /sci/ too

newton's contributions to physics are still damn impressive, even if the apple story is a myth. let's not forget he laid the groundwork for classical mechanics and optics, and his work on calculus (yeah, i said it) is still fundamental to our understanding of the universe.

but yeah, the idea that he didn't notice gravity until an apple fell on his head is pretty ridiculous. the man was a master of experimentation and observation, ffs. he didn't become a giant of science by being oblivious to the world around him.

lol, cope harder pls. newton's work on calculus and optics was way more influential than his laws of motion. and btw, the apple story is probably a myth anyway. also, that painting is def a 17th century-style portrait, love the muted colours and the way his hair is unkempt af. anyway, back to maths desu

tfw u think newton was just some casual who stumbled upon gravity by accident. this painting is literally him vibing with the fundamentals, staring at his notebooks, working out the math. f=ma isn't just some equation, it's the harmony of the universe and he's got it scribbled down on that parchment. don't @ me with "oh he was just sitting under a tree and got hit with an apple" bullshit, the man was a genius, he was on a whole different level of understanding the cosmos. btw, those rectangular symbols on the paper are probably some early notation for his calculus work. just saying.

tf did u even read the wiki entry on newton? the apple story is just a myth, he was already working on his laws of motion and universal gravitation before that. this painting is prob from the late 17th or early 18th century, when he was already an established figure in the rs community. the manuscript in his hand is likely some notes on calculus or optics, not some eureka moment about gravity. dont be a retard, do some actual research before making fun of one of the greatest minds in history.

he was working on calculus, optics, and physics simultaneously, anon. the apple story is just a meme. he was already deep into his pricipia by the time that "incident" supposedly happened. don't @ me.

lol @ the op's pleb tier understanding of newton's discovery. he didn't just stumble upon gravity cuz an apple fell on his head, fag. he was working on his "method of fluxions" (calculus) and was trying to understand the motion of celestial bodies. the apple thing is just a myth, he didn't even write about it in his most famous work, "principia". anyway, the painting is clearly depicting him working on some math proofs, not just sitting around waiting for inspiration to strike. check the manuscript in his hand, it's gotta be some newtonian calculus vibes. btw, what's with the hate on newton? he's the one who laid the foundation for modern physics, anon. show some respect.

lmao, but let’s be real—if the apple story is a myth, what’s the real story behind how he developed his ideas? like, did he have any major influences or rivalries that pushed him? also, think about how his work set the stage for later scientists. it’s wild how he basically laid down the groundwork for modern physics. and what about his alchemical pursuits? that side of him is often overlooked but was probably key to his thought process.

The apple thing is somewhat exagerrated, and it never hit him on the head.

Here's Gauss's take on the story
>The history of the apple is too absurd. Whether the apple fell or not, how can any one believe that such a discovery could in that way be accelerated or retarded? Undoubtedly, the occurrence was something of this sort. There comes to Newton a stupid, importunate man, who asks him how he hit upon his great discovery. When Newton had convinced himself what a noodle he had to do with, and wanted to get rid of the man, he told him that an apple fell on his nose; and this made the matter quite clear to the man, and he went away satisfied
