The unit “newton” (N)—used to measure force—is named after Sir Isaac Newton, who formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation. But here’s the twist: before the newton became standard, people used units like the “pound-force” or even “dynes” in different regions, which made scientific communication a bit of a tug-of-war 🚀📐💥

And for a quirky bonus: in space, where there’s no air resistance, an object in motion stays in motion forever—unless acted upon by a force. That’s Newton’s First Law in action, and it’s why satellites keep orbiting without needing engines constantly firing.
