📖 The Laws That Run the Universe
In 1687, Isaac Newton published three laws that explain virtually ALL motion — from falling apples to orbiting planets to crashing cars. These laws are so fundamental that NASA still uses them to calculate spacecraft trajectories. Law 1: Things keep doing what they're doing unless forced to change. Law 2: Force equals mass times acceleration. Law 3: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Simple to state, but they explain everything!
