Summary

This quote highlights the significance of questioning and seeking deeper understanding. It implies that mere observation is not enough, as many people may witness the same event but only a few possess the curiosity to inquire further. Sir Isaac Newton's groundbreaking discovery of gravity was not merely a result of passively observing the falling apple, but rather his determination to unravel the underlying principles behind it. This quote inspires us to be inquisitive and not settle for surface-level knowledge, encouraging us to explore the why behind what we observe in the world around us.
