Relationship between an Apple and a Rocket.

What is the relationship between and an apple and a rocket?

When Newton was studying at Cambridge , the whole city was under the effect of Plague.All the students were asked to vacate Cambridge , so was Newton.

Newton had no where to go and thus he  headed straight towards his village .
Due to his extreme love with the nature , Newton use to sit hours and hours in open , in harmony with nature .
At one such day , an apple fell down , which was normal for me , but for Newton it was as if mother nature was asking him to unfold the laws of nature , for mankind.


With this incident Newton discovered the three important laws of  Gravitation.
Later on  these laws , formed the basis of rockets traveling in space.

In 1672 , this famous apple fell down but rose the mankind from ignorance .

Thus , 1672 + Y = X .

Thus after the discovery of gravitational laws by Newton in 1672 , it took engineers "Y"  no. of years to study and perform experiments , and thus finally , in the year " Y" the first rocket was send into space .

From above I believe  , the three incidents , namely

1)  Spread of PLAGUE disease 
2) Apple falling
3) First flight of a Rocket

 can represent three sides of a triangle . The triangle will collapse , if any of the incident will be taken out.

If , Spread of Plague would not have occur , the Apple would still have fallen , but there might have been no Newton revolutionizing this fall . Thus , the rocket may not have been flown .

Few things that I learned from these incidents are :
 Mother nature is ready to unfold her secrets , but we need to harmonize with her , to know about them.
Disaster leads to Discovery.
