Couldn’t walk on the grass, so this is the best I could do. Thanks to the apple by the road.

The apple tree is a descendant of the original tree under which Isaac Newton is said to have developed his theory of gravity. While not the original, it still carries the legacy of one of the greatest scientific discoveries. A short but inspiring visit.

Yanınıza bir elma almayı unutmayın🌳🌳🍎🍎 🌳 Doğayla ve Tarihle İç İçe Newton’un elma ağacının altında vakit geçirmek gerçekten tarifsizdi. Hem çocuklar hem biz çok etkilendik. Bilim tarihinde iz bırakmış böylesi bir ağacın hâlâ yaşamını sürdürmesi harika bir duygu. Kızım bu ağacın hikâyesini dinlerken gözleri parladı. Ona hayal etmenin, sorgulamanın ve doğadan ilham almanın ne kadar değerli olduğunu gösterdi. Ailecek çok şey öğrendik. Elma ağacının gölgesinde oturmak, sadece bir ağaç altında dinlenmek değil; aynı zamanda insanlığın merak ve keşif yolculuğuna tanıklık etmek gibiydi. Hem huzurlu hem de düşündürücü bir deneyim oldu. 📖 Geçmişten Geleceğe; Newton’un hikâyesiyle büyümüş biz ebeveynler için ayrı, kızımız içinse yeni bir keşifti. Bilimle doğanın böylesine güzel bir şekilde buluştuğu bir yerde ailece bulunmak bize unutulmaz bir anı bıraktı.
