Google's Isaac Newton Doodle


Today is Sir Isaac Newton birthday. Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian who is perceived and considered by a substantial number of scholars and the general public as one of the most influential scientists in history.

Newton himself often told the story that he was inspired to formulate his theory of gravitation by watching the fall of an apple from a treeGoogle's logo of today (called a doodle) shows a tree branch with apples.
Watch what happens.

I don't see anything. Even the logo is just normal. I tried signing out, but it stayed at just the everyday font. Am I doing something wrong?

It works for me, Miss Cellania. Don't know if you're doing something wrong. Did you try emptying your recent history cache.

Yeah, I tried that. Then I thought maybe Google was mad at me, so I pushed "I'm feeling lucky" and got those New Year greetings, so I guess maybe I'm just holding my mouth right. Still no apple.

I couldn't see it on the US version of the Google.com website either. It might just be the European Google sites? (I checked Britain and Denmark, which have it, and China, which doesn't.)

So thank you for the heads up, Presurfer! I would never have found it otherwise.
