FACTS AND FALLACIES OF EVERYDAY THINGS THAT ROBROB8 THINKS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Sir Isaac Newton is the man that is credited with discovering the "Law of Gravity".

He discovered that gravity is a force that pulls everything, heavier than air, to the ground. Commonly, he is imagined sitting under an apple tree when an apple pulls free of it's branch. The apple hits him on the head and he comes to the sudden realization of the Law of Gravity.

Of course, that story is all made up and although Sir Newton probably did experiment after experiment to find out what fell and what rose up Robrob8 is quite sure that he got it all wrong.

"Bass ackwards" is the appropriate term, I think. Gravity does not pull things down to the ground GRAVITY PUSHES DOWN.

Now, think carefully. Gravity is a force that pushes down. Items that fall from the sky drop at an increasing speed because of the increasing momentum pushing down upon them.

Watch for science books soon to be updated everywhere.
