Gravity is implicit in the third law of motion- which states- for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. ( this also explains, rockets, the recoil of a gun, springs, and so on) when used unqualified- as with bridge engineers, or capitalized- Reaction here means gravitational reaction- for example the weight of a bridge on the piers or contact shoes. ( of course there are chemical and nuclear reactions) but Newton was concerned with physics of his time. it can be argued, more philosophic than scientific well if the theory of opposites holds- then there ought to be- anti-gravity. food for thought, please pass the fictional Newtonian apples! ( the apple story, like the Franklin kite incident- which would have been suicidal) is an historical myth.

Who inspired by an apple falling from a tree according to tradition?

Isaac Newton, the discoverer of Gravity.


Who thought of gravity after seeing an apple fall?

The idea of gravity is often attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, who famously formulated his theory after observing an apple fall from a tree. This incident supposedly inspired him to think about the forces that govern motion, leading to his groundbreaking work in physics. While the story is likely apocryphal and simplified, it symbolizes his insights into gravitational attraction. Newton's work laid the foundation for classical mechanics and our understanding of gravity.

When did newton come up with gravity?

Sir Isaac Newton formulated his theory of gravity in 1687, with the publication of his groundbreaking work, "Principia Mathematica." This theory described the force of gravity as a universal force of attraction between all objects possessing mass.


What inspired Isaac Newton to develop his law of gravity?

There is a popular story that Isaac Newton was sitting beneath an apple tree when an apple dropped on his head and this inspired him to create his universal theory of gravitation. The story is probably an exaggeration. In Newton's account of the event he was sitting at his window at his home, Woolsthorpe Manor and watched an apple fall from a tree in the garden which turned his thoughts to gravity. The real discovery of Newton was not "gravity." The fact that things fall towards the Earth when they are dropped was known in pre-history. It wasn't even to suggest that gravity extended a long way and causes the orbits of the planets. This had already been suggested by Galileo Galilei. What Newton came up with was a formula for how big the force of gravity will be between any two objects and show that this accurately accounts for the motion of the moon and planets. The formula was so good that it remained in use as the best prediction of gravitational force until Einstein's theory of General Relativity in the 20th Century and is still used today where relativistic effects do not apply.
