Episode notes
I want to just tell you a little bit of the history of orbits. And I don't know if you'll find it fascinating, but it's fascinating to me. Isaac Newton was around in the 1600s, early 1700s. He saw an apple fall from an apple tree in his backyard in Lincolnshire. So, he thinks to himself, is there some way to connect the falling apple with the orbiting moon? Is there some single understanding that renders these two things that I'm looking at same?
