and imaginary. He uses a famous story of Newton discovering the gravity as an example. He says that we have a misconception of an apple falling on his head and that lead to the discovery of gravity‚ instead‚ he saw an apple fell and it inspired him to think of the force of gravity will go beyond earth and into the deep universe. Here is were scientists are creative and imaginative‚ ordinary people may ignore the falling apple‚ but scientists‚ like Newton‚ will think
