East vs. West: The Gravitational Bias

The eternal battle between Western and Eastern scientific contributions in one perfect image! Newton gets all the glory for watching an apple fall, while some poor soul in Southeast Asia who discovered the world's stinkiest fruit (durian) gets zero credit for their gravitational observations. Historical science bias at its finest! Next thing you'll tell me is that gravity works differently depending on which hemisphere you're in. Maybe durian doesn't fall from trees—it just repels itself from everything including our noses. Newton: "I discovered gravity!" Southeast Asia: "We discovered how to make gravity smell like gym socks left in a hot car for a month."
