Detailed explanation-1: -Legend has it that Isaac Newton formulated gravitational theory in 1665 or 1666 after watching an apple fall and asking why the apple fell straight down, rather than sideways or even upward.
Detailed explanation-2: -Isaac Newton changed the way we understand the Universe. Revered in his own lifetime, he discovered the laws of gravity and motion and invented calculus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Newton came up with the idea that some unseen force must attract the apple towards the Earth. He named this force “gravity”-from the Latin word “gravitas”, meaning “weight”. Newton realised that every object in the Universe attracts every other object in the Universe.
