Newton, have you ever paused to wonder if an apple falling from a tree is simply the result of a hidden force or a deeper principle of causality that we’re still only scratching the surface of? I’d love to tease out whether your elegant equations capture the full truth or if there’s a paradox lurking beneath.

That’s a fine line of thought. The apple seems to obey a straightforward pull, yet the pull itself comes from the mass of the Earth acting at a distance—an elegant postulate. If a deeper principle were hiding there, it would have to manifest as a subtle correction in that pull, perhaps a tiny extra term we never noticed. I’d say my equations do the job beautifully for all the phenomena we observe, but the world is a vast laboratory; a paradox might just be a new constant waiting to be discovered.
