To show just how eight Newton was you just need to look at Apollo 11.


I am answering any objections in this thread. Apollo 11, washing machines, computers are all engineering sciences much like medical sciences while this is an astronomy/terrestrial science forum where the motions of the Earth and the arrangement of the solar system affects experiences and life on the surface. The idea that the fall of an apples can upscale to planetary orbital motion is through a sequence of precepts outlined in the original presentation in this thread. It is fine saying that objects attract each other but Newton had to apply it to astronomical methods and insights and that is where it disappears in a cloud of slogan chanting, stock phrases, voodoo and bluffing.
