Not sure why it took an apple falling on his head for Isaac Newton to realise what the affect of gravity is

Maybe it's just got corrupted over the years
Maybe it was really a pair.....and why a bigger pair fell quicker than a smaller pair :think: :roll:

Now, if we're talking apples, a larger pair of apples should fall at exactly the same rate as a smaller pair, however if we're talking about "frog's eyeballs", a different aspect of physics called solid mechanics may have the answer, its called "
creep " in the engineering world
