But that was the great problem that Newton tackled. And while he's not quite in my league it was an impressive feat.
He did well for a Lincolnshire lad.
His encounter with that fruit in the garden has made him a bit suspect.
...there's apple tree in my garden too, and some gravity. I'd best be careful....twice these apple trees have wreaked havoc on human destiny now.
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

Sun, ya knows that God done made us'ns the center of the damn universe, so don't be stickin' that pig with a stick, ya hear?
Well of course!
The other planets orbit the sun which in turn orbits us. Everything revolves around us relative to everything else!
Otherwise, you'd feel the ground move at and earth rotate and those absurd speeds wouldn't you?
Can you plot a year's worth of orbits under that paradigm?
Calling on the programmers here. That should be a breeze with a clever computer program. Could look pretty fascinating, though.
