noun: a hard round fruit that is white inside and has a smooth red, yellow, or green skin, which is called a peel when it has been removed. The middle part of the apple containing the seeds is called the core. Apples grow on apple trees.
Often referred to when discussing Newton's moment of epiphany of watching and apple fall from a tree inspiring Newton to deduce aspects of gravity.
[17] In relation to Newton's discovery of the laws of gravity, Viktor Schauberger comments: "I think it would have been much better if Newton had contemplated how the apple got up there in the first place!"
