Newton's first law of motion, simplified to "things don't move unless pushed," was absolutely revolutionary in 17th century Europe. The cartoon monkey's shocked expression perfectly captures how minds were blown when Newton basically said "stationary objects stay stationary." Before this, people thought objects needed constant force to keep moving. Newton walks in and says "nope, inertia exists" and everyone loses their minds. That's the scientific equivalent of telling people water is wet and getting a Nobel Prize for it.
