"Sir Isaac Newton was contemplating the universe in his garden one day in 1665 when he noticed an apple fall from a tree. Newton wondered to himself, "Why should the apple always fall to the ground? Why does it not go sideways or upwards but directly toward the Earth's center?" After much contemplation, Newton concluded that objects are pulled to the Earth through a force that he called gravity, which means heaviness in Latin. On July 5th, 1687 Newton formally expressed his law of universal gravitation in series of books called The Principia." Which title best expresses the main idea of this text?

"A few months before World War II started, Albert Einstein wrote to President Roosevelt. He warned Roosevelt that the Nazis were conducting atomic research and that it would be bad if they were to win the race to build an atom bomb. Einstein recommended that the U.S. become involved in uranium research. As a result of this letter, the U.S. joined the atomic race and poured billions of dollars into the field. The U.S. won the race and became the first country to build an atomic bomb. The bomb was then used in Japan, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians. In 1954, a year before his death, Einstein would refer to the moment that he signed the letter to President Roosevelt as the greatest mistake of his life."
