Some men went to Woolsthorpe, which is in Lincolnshire, England, and climbed a fence into the gardens of Isaac Newton’s former home. They identified the apple tree [a Flower of Kent variety] from which the apple fell, itself fenced in and indicated with a sign calling it the most important tree in the world, and they took a small cutting. Back in the laboratories of BioArt & Co. they made a clone of it, and the replica is currently housed in the Science Museum in Coruña, Galicia, Spain. Impossible to see it and avoid asking oneself: why was it this and not some other tree which, hundreds of years ago, prompted Newton to ask why the apple fell when the moon did not? Touch the tree trunk and it is impossible to avoid wondering whether there might be sweat particles from the hand of the genius, there in solid form. The seismographs on Project Apollo have begun to detect seismic activity on the moon, earthquakes, tremors between 800 and 1,200 kilometres beneath the surface – halfway between the surface and the planetary core. Much deeper, that is, than any earthquake ever recorded on our planet. The impression being that anything significant or strange takes place near the core, far below that cold, grey skin we see through our telescopes. The apple also falls and breaks on the ground, revealing a core that provides an account of its own making, of its cloning. The strange thing is that these earthquakes have been shown not to register on the far side of the moon, but only on the side we can see.
