In February 2007, President Gong Ke led a delegation from Tianda to Woolsop Manor. After obtaining the owner's consent, he personally cut down three branches of "Newton Apple Tree" with the length exceeding 10 cm and brought them back to China for planting in Tianjin University.
Historical background:
Newton was inspired by gravity because the apple fell from the tree. This apple tree made Newton understand the law of gravity and became famous in one fell swoop. It was regarded as a symbol of the spirit of scientific exploration.
Isaac newton is a great British mathematician, physicist, astronomer and natural philosopher. His research fields include physics, mathematics, astronomy, theology, natural philosophy and alchemy.
Newton's main contributions include inventing calculus, discovering the law of universal gravitation and classical mechanics, designing and actually manufacturing the first reflective telescope, and so on. He is regarded as the greatest and most influential scientist in human history. In order to commemorate Newton's outstanding achievements in classical mechanics, "Newton" later became a physical unit to measure the size of force.
