I would like to correct a common misconception about this anecdote.
It is often presented as Newton “discovering gravity” or Newton working out that gravity caused apples to fall. This is nonsense. This stuff had been known for thousands of years.
What Newton worked out (supposedly from watching an apple fall) is that this is the force which keeps the moon in orbit. He was working on that exact question at the time. From a contemporary account (see ):
“Whilst he was pensively meandering in a garden it came into his thought that the power of gravity (which brought an apple from a tree to the ground) was not limited to a certain distance from Earth, but that this power must extend much further than was usually thought.
"Why not as high as the Moon said he to himself & if so, that must influence her motion & perhaps retain her orbit, whereupon he fell a calculating what would be the effect of that supposition."”
Newton didn’t see an apple fall and hence invent the concept of gravity. He saw a falling apple and hypothesised that the same force was responsible for astronomical movements.
Had he not seen a falling apple, doubtless he would have seen something else fall.
