Discovery & Invention, Period 5, 6 Feb '08
"Good afternoon," Mohinder hailed the class, idly tossing an apple into the air. He caught it, and weighed it thoughtfully in one hand before continuing.
"Apocryphally, Isaac Newton was struck by an apple and inspiration for universal gravitation under a tree in Oxford." Mohinder gave a grin. "We have rather more evidence that he went on to codify three laws of motion," and continued on. "During the time he wasn't drinking undercover with counterfeiters or disputing the origins of calculus, an argument halted only temporarily by his rival's death, that is."
"Much of Newton's framework depends on an idealised environment. Your desks are set up with air hockey tables." Mohinder gestured at the apparatus on the desks. "It's a near frictionless environment, so try to use them to test the laws of motion - before doing anything else with them."
[Waiting for OCD up!]
