It is said that Newton thought up his Theory of Universal Gravitation while sitting under an apple tree, and an apple fell upon his head. He supposed that if apples fall to the earth, couldn’t all other things? Couldn’t the moon?
After Newton’s Principia was published it only took 317 years for humans to enter space using his equations and his Calculus.

These mittens are a tribute to Isaac Newton and his works.
