If Newton didn't see under the apple tree, would someone else derived at the theory of gravity instead?

Answer 1

yes, of course.

Look at the invention of the radio. Marconi got his patent into the office like seconds before the other guy.

Someone else was also working on the telephone at the same time as Alexander Graham Bell.

Humans tend to think with a collective counsciouness

Answer 2

Yes--definitely. A German mathematician named Leibniz actually published a paper on calculus before Newton. Newton was first but his papers weren't published until after his death. Leibniz's (may not be spelling that right) work was unrelated to Newton's. Since calculus is the key to working out the orbits of the planets, it's certain that someone would have figured it out with Leibniz calculus. During his life, Newton didn't explain how he figured it all out. That wasn't revealed until his post mortem publication.

Answer 3

Certainly. He had been working on it for a while before the whole apple tree incident. But when he saw the apple, he realized that the moon might just be doing the same thing...falling towards earth. So it helped speed up his theory.

Answer 4

Of course. How could anyone NOT wonder why things don't "fall" up? (Good thing Newton didn't observe any helium baloons!)

Answer 5

may be other person realize that and discover the same theory later?

Answer 6

Who the F**k cares?

Answer 7

yes of course
just jump and u will know

Answer 8

you cant change the past you know that

Answer 9

Eventually..... I wonder what they would have called it?

Answer 10

why of course....
