17th century Memes

Newton drops his revolutionary First Law of Motion, and 17th century Europe is absolutely losing its mind! The monkey's expression perfectly captures how people reacted when Newton basically said "things stay put until they don't" and called it physics. Before this, folks were still buying into Aristotle's whole "objects naturally come to rest" nonsense for nearly 2,000 years. Imagine the intellectual mic drop moment when Newton was like "Actually, inertia exists" and everyone's minds were collectively blown. Revolutionary science has never been so... obvious in hindsight!
