Machine learning and the law of falling apples – Towards Data Science

Disclaimer: The purpose of this article is not to disparage machine learning in any shape or form. Machine learning is lovely, I make my living off it! The point is simply to explore the edges and try to see what lies beyond. Imagine a young Isaac Newton sitting under a tree when he notices an apple fall. He thinks about it for a moment and realizes that he has never really seen an apple do anything else but fall straight down.
