FICTION | What if… Sir Isaac Newton had gone to the Doctor instead of lying beneath an Apple Tree?
In this playful short story, Mario Fernández Carrasco reimagines history through the eyes of a precocious child named Isaac, who uses Newton’s apple-inspired discovery to challenge his teacher (and his classmates) to seek answers beyond the classroom walls.
