An apple once fell from a tree, hit someone's head and helped discover gravity.
But the leafy canopy from under which Sir Isaac Newton was to form his theory on gravitational force, will soon no longer be enjoyed as it once was.
The plethora of tourists who perennially visit the special spot in Sir Isaac's childhood home are steadily damaging the tree's roots. In order to protect its longevity, a willow fencing has been erected around it.

We all know the Issac Newton's history though! But do you know, In 2010 wood taken from the tree that helped Newton Explain gravity was launched into SPACE. It traveled to the International Space Station alongside postcard of Newton.

Isn't it awesome? What do you think about the Space thing*?
