QUESTION 21.Which fruit inspired Sir Isaac Newton's theories on gravity?

Correct Incorrect Sir Isaac Newton, the English mathematician, developed his theories on gravity after observing an apple falling from a tree. While some may dismiss this story as a myth, it is indeed true. According to Newton, the same force that caused an apple to drop from a tree also governed the movement of celestial bodies, including the moon. He further expounded on this theory in his renowned 1687 book, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy.
