Quotes by William Bixby (?)

“From Galileo’s discovery of the principle of the pendulum, a totally new concept of the design of timepieces evolved. But what proved even more significant than the discovery itself was his method of arriving at it -a system that today is called the scientific method.”
― William Bixby, Galileo and Newton

“With these experiments, Galileo succeeded in unlocking the secret of uniformly accelerated motion. His theory was that the speed of an object increased the farther it fell, and, in addition, that the rate of increase was the same with each equal addition of distance. This was the phenomenon as Galileo described it: “A body is said to be uniformly accelerated when, starting from rest, it acquires equal increments of velocity during equal time intervals.”
― William Bixby, Galileo and Newton

“Galileo and Kepler had succeeded in explaining how these bodies moved, but Newton became eager to know why. The question had gnawed at him for weeks on end. Then one moonlit night in 1666 while he was seated beneath a tree in the orchard of his Woolsthorpe farm, his meditations were jarred by the thud of an apple falling to the ground beside him. It was a commonplace occurrence, but coming when it did, it set off a chain of thoughts that enabled Newton eventually to answer all the remaining questions about the motion of planets and stars.”
― William Bixby, Galileo and Newton
