The most famous apple tree in the world

I must admit I'm not that much into science. Too much other (vastly different) interests.
But after visiting Newton's birthplace I realise that for me entering the realms of science meant entering into a previously unknown but truly interesting new world.

Now I'm not going to tell you in detail about the significance of Newton (you'll know, don't you!).
- After all I was just visiting his birthplace out of interest for a 17th century English farm house, with 'the famous apple tree' as an added bonus.

But walking around and learning about his life I started to realise the huge importance of Newton.
He formulated the universal laws of Nature: motion and universal gravity which dominated scientists' view of the physical universe for the next three centuries - hence the famous apple tree, that after all these years is still there, in the garden, the apple tree he saw from his bedroom. I stood looking from the same window upon the same apple tree and it swept over me: I suddenly felt proud to be there.

Imagine what scientists feel when they visit the place. And I just wandered into these hallowed grounds, not knowing, not realising - uh-oh!
Well, I do now.
