Sir Isaac Newton has been hailed as one of the most influential scientists that ever lived and is credited for inventions, including the world’s first reflecting telescope.
Newton’s Cradle, demonstrates the scientific discovery that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Pull up 1 pendulum of the Cradle, release it and on impact, only 1 ball moves from that reaction. Pull up two pendula, release, and 2 balls will react. The impact of the outer ball with the inner balls of Newton's Cradle displays the effect of energy being transferred through the stationary balls, because only the outer balls move in an equal reaction to each other.
This supersize version of the Isaac Newton model is made from glossy chrome and set on a sturdy wood base. The size is larger than most cradles and a great desk ornament for the office, or the home, providing much needed tranquillity and stress relief during those busy work days, as it clicks away, keeping hands busy and the mind stimulated. Why not bring a daily dose of unprecedented genius into someone’s life, or treat yourself to a supersized slice of scientific history?
A fantastic gift idea for Dad, present for Grandad, or for the science enthusiast. Who knows, perhaps some of that dazzling intelligence ad pure genius might even rub off on you?
