Google’s Animated Logo for Universal Gravitation – Video
Google celebrated birthday of a famous scientist Sir Issac Newton at 4th January 2010 by displaying an animated logo where the apple is falling from the tree. Here is a video of that animation.
Sir Isaac Newton FRS (4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727 [OS: 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727]) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian who is perceived and considered by a substantial number of scholars and the general public as one of the most influential scientists in history. His 1687 publication of the Philosophie Naturalis Principia Mathematica (usually called the Principia) is considered to be among the most influential books in the history of science, laying the groundwork for most of classical mechanics. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Newton showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler’s laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation, thus removing the last doubts about heliocentrism and advancing the scientific revolution.
Here is the reputed descendants of Newton’s apple tree, at the Cambridge University Botanic Garden.
And here is the Newton statue on display at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.
