Isaac Newton through my eye
It is easy to judge somebody or just say something. Is it? Whenever I see backwards, I come to know that in my childhood, I was very immature. I was used to thinking that I was intelligent, but the reality was the opposite.
Isaac Newton you know him very well because of him we have been collectively harassing. Almost all students in which I too included thought that the whole apple tree should fall on him, not only an apple.
If this happened to him then there was no need to learn about Newton’s law of motion, Newton’s law of cooling, Newton’s law of gravitation, calculus, corpuscular theory of light, reflection etc. stop yourself and your thoughts for a while and start questioning from yourself is really happen as we are thinking?
Isaac Newton said, “if I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulder of giants”.
After reading this, I felt if Newton had not made these discoveries, then somebody else would have stood upon the shoulders of giants.
Whenever somebody taught us the laws of motion. He or she starts by saying that one day he sits under a tree, and suddenly, an apple falls, and he discovers the laws of motion. At that time, I believed in this theory, but now it is hard to believe this. Falling an apple from a tree is not a new process.
I guarantee this process must be seen by many people, but they don’t give any law. Leave all these, let’s talk about rain. Rain is the process that you all witness. Never a question raised in your mind: why do raindrops fall downward? Why don’t they go upward? Any theory can’t be created by just sitting for this. We have to put in all effort, hard work, and consistency.
When I moved from 11th to 12th and came to know things more deeply, then, I got the real value of Newton and his discoveries.
I thought, why do people wish to fall a tree on Newton? After thinking a lot, I came to the conclusion that people tell us theories but don’t tell us uses. If people know the uses of discoveries, then why is this thing discovered?
Questions will not come into our minds, and scientists, get the respect that they really deserve.
