One afternoon while sitting in the orchard, he observed an apple fall straight from a tree to the ground. He wondered why the apple always fell perpendicular to the earth rather than sideways or upward. He deduced that the same invisible gravitational force holding the apple to the earth also holds the moon in its celestial orbit. During the same plague isolation, he passed sunlight through a glass prism, discovering that white light is a mixture of spectral colors. He formulated the Three Universal Laws of Motion that formed the bedrock of classical physics. In 1687, he published his masterwork "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica", considered one of the greatest scientific books ever written.
