Why Newton Asked About the Falling Apple

History
When Newton saw an apple fall, he didn’t just say “that’s gravity”. He asked: Why does it always fall down? That shift in curiosity opened an entirely new understanding of physics.

Reflection
Everyday events hide extraordinary questions. The difference is not what we see, but what we ask about what we see.

Technique — Ask the Apple

• Look around you.

• Pick one ordinary thing (a chair, a lamp, a coffee cup).

• Spend 45 minutes writing questions about it — no answers needed.

Quantum Question
👉 What’s the apple in your life you’re ignoring?
