They say the apple on the head is a myth. Bet one day he saw something fall from a tree, then started wondering if the same force that caused the object to fall to earth was what also held the moon in orbit.

Newton was sitting under an apple when suddenly an apple fell on his head.

Part of his motivation in doing this was to address a problem discussed earlier by Galileo, namely, if the earth is rotating, why don’t we get thrown off?
Belief at the time was that things moved because forces ended up inside of us that pushed us around. Naturally, if this was the case, why did we not get pushed off the earth?
