Everyone must be convinced when they learn this article from the primary school text, and at the same time admire Newton, a great scientist, for discovering the truth in life. But in fact, face-saving Newton never told the world that he was actually inspired by naturalist robert hooke.
As early as 167 1 year, Hooke published "On the Annual Movement of the Earth" and put forward three hypotheses such as celestial gravity. At that time, he naively wrote a letter to Newton, wanted to discuss his ideas with this famous person, and provided his own calculation direction without hiding. Who knew Newton was not a real person? After receiving the letter, he did not form a research team with others, but directly studied behind closed doors with other people's ideas. Finally, combined with previous achievements, Newton's third law and the law of universal gravitation are obtained and published happily.
Hook was very dissatisfied when he saw that his research results were patented by Newton in advance, but there was no solution. Newton insisted on denying that he was inspired by his Hooke, so they tore each other apart, and finally the boat of friendship turned over and said goodbye completely.
Then Newton thought about it. What should I say when others smell my inspiration? So he wrote a letter to others with a stroke of the pen, saying that an apple inspired him. After that, everyone passed it around, and after artistic processing, it became the text we are learning now.
Knowing the truth, I feel that the whole world has collapsed. Such a great scientist is actually doing this kind of plagiarism, and I can't look straight. This shows the importance of protecting intellectual property rights, research is risky, and discussion needs to be cautious!
