Universal Gravitation Sir Isaac Newton: The Universal Law of Gravitation  The Falling Apple Newton reasoned the moon is falling for the same reason the apple falls – they are both pulled by the Earth’s gravity. Newton’s Excellent Idea Now came Newtons truly brilliant insight: if the force of gravity reaches to the top of the highest tree, might it not reach even further; in particular, might it not reach all the way to the orbit of the Moon! Then, the orbit of the Moon about the Earth could be a consequence of the gravitational force, because the acceleration due to gravity could change the
