Newton's Gravity vs Einstein's Gravity
Newton's gravity Why does an apple fall from a tree towards the ground and why does the moon orbit around the Earth? In the 17th century, mathematician and physicist Isaac Newton answers these two questions with a single answer “gravitation”. So what is gravitation? In the universe all objects that possess a mass attract each other. For example the moon attracts the earth and the earth attracts the moon. Now let us imagine a first object A and a second object B separated by a certain distance. Because of gravitation, these two objects attract each other; in this way A will get closer to B and B will get closer to A. If A was more massive then the gravitational pull would be stronger inversely if A was less massive and the gravitational pull would be weaker, this is equally true for B. Following on, if the two objects were more distant the gravitational pull would be weaker and if they were close the gravitational pull would be stronger as such the gravitational pull of one object on another goes away when the two objects are very far apart. Let's now take the example of an apple. The Apple possesses a certain mass and so does the earth so the Apple attracts the earth and inversely the earth attracts the Apple. This is why the Apple and the earth will get closer one to the other up until the Apple touches the ground. Now let's imagine that we throw the Apple in a direction with a certain speed like before the Apple will be attracted to the earth but it will also move in the direction in which it was thrown depending on its speed. The faster the Apple is thrown, the further the Apple falls. Now if we could throw the Apple with a high enough speed we would see that this velocity would counter the gravitational pull and that the Apple would never fall down on the ground this is what happens with the moon and that is why the moon orbits around the earth as well as why the earth orbits around the Sun.

THE TITANIC: THE TRUTH REVEALED
On April 14th, 1912, at 11:40 p.m., the RMS Titanic experienced a tragic incident that would ultimately lead to its catastrophic demise. Three hours later, by 2:20 a.m. on April 15th, the grandeur of the largest ship of its time had vanished beneath the icy depths of the Atlantic Ocean. The sinking of the Titanic claimed the lives of more than 1500 individuals, which amounted to over two-thirds of all those on board. The widely accepted cause of this horrific disaster has long been attributed to the ship colliding with an iceberg. However, recent scientific discoveries have challenged this prevailing theory, shedding new light on an enigmatic century-old tragedy.

The Last Slave Ship Discovered
Two years ago, a submerged vessel was discovered at the bottom of an Alabama River. This discovery turned out to be the long-lost wreck of the Clotilda, the final known slave ship to transport captured Africans to America in 1860. Although more than 12 million Africans endured the transatlantic slave trade over 350 years, the story of the 110 captive men, women, and children brought to Alabama on the Clotilda stands as one of the most well-documented slave voyages in history.
