What exact date did the apple fall on Newton's head?

First of all, Newton never stated the apple fell on his head, he only said that he began to think vigorously upon universal gravity while watching an apple fall from a tree. Newton also never stated even the year he had this experience (he recounted it to friends decades after the fact), but his notebooks show he began working on gravity in the late 1660s.


Why is Isaac Newton inventions important?

Isaac Newton (1809 - 1878) contributed much information to the scientific community that is still important to this date. After a trip to the Galapagos Islands, off the shore of South America, young Isaac noticed the differences of beaks on different parts of the island - and that these differences helped their survival. This, along with other evidence found such as the fossil record, helped him come up with the Theory of Evolution. Back in his day, around the time of the Civil War, people were very religious - and this theory excluded their God... so it was looked down upon. However today we are much more secular and can accept it. Just because his information is old, that doesn't make it less helpful/ truthful - so we can still use it to make vaccines and make other discoveries to this day.
