Isaac newton, president of the Royal Society, is a famous physicist and an encyclopedic "all-rounder". 1687 published the paper "Self-heating Law", which described the law of universal gravitation and three major movements.

Has become the foundation of modern engineering. In mechanics, Newton's law of motion is put forward; In optics, reflecting telescope was invented; In mathematics, he and Leibniz developed calculus together; In economics, it is a rare genius to put forward the gold standard. Newton's inspiration for gravity came from thinking under a tree. Suddenly, a ripe apple fell and hit his head, which made him understand a lot in an instant, and there was a law of gravity behind him. Knowing this, the apple tree that hit him became famous and became a symbol of the spirit of scientific exploration. Later it was called "Newton Apple Tree".

The famous "Newton Apple Tree" originally grew in Newton's hometown Woolsop Manor, but in 1820, there was a storm here. After the baptism of the storm, the apple tree broke into several pieces. It turned out that the apple tree continued to grow. According to the authoritative publication Impurities in Contemporary Physics, this apple tree has grown for more than 350 years, and it has been protected here, and there is a protection order issued by Queen Elizabeth. In February 2007, President Gong Ke led a delegation to visit Woolsop Manor. After obtaining the consent of the owner,

I personally cut off three branches of "Newton Apple Tree" with the length exceeding 10 cm and brought them back to China. This is the first successful introduction of "Newton Apple Tree" in China. In 20 15, this grafted "Newton Apple Tree" appeared in Shanghai Science Museum. In 20 10, Cambridge University presented Li Ka-shing with three apple saplings transplanted with Newton apple trees, and Li Ka-shing later presented them to Shantou University to encourage them to advocate science and pursue the spirit of true knowledge. Because the environment in Shantou is not suitable for the growth of apple trees, a temperature control room was specially built for it.
