What's New in Version 1.40 (Newton)

"No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess."

• I. Newton (1643- 1727)

Credited as one of the great minds of the Scientific Revolution, Sir Isaac Newton is irrefutably one of the most influential scientists in history. His contributions to the fields of physics, mathematics, astronomy and chemistry changed the way we see and understand the world around us, from the theory of gravity, the laws of motion (the basis for physics), calculus, to breakthroughs in the area of optics such as the modern telescope. His impact on the development of early modern philosophy was so profound that it is difficult to grasp the early history of philosophy without considering Newton's role as a prominent natural philosopher of his time.

We continue to learn, grow, and improve by making a habit of asking the right questions, while putting ourselves in your shoes, to understand both your pain points and aspirations. Exploring these needs and making educated data-driven estimates enables us to provide you with the support and involvement that would usher your products and services for reaching peak engagement, offer you a personalized experience that meets your needs both safely and securely, and ensure that you can rely on Pelcro as the right partner to grow your business.

After all, while the story of the apple dropping on Newton's head remains questionable, the moral of the story is not; while million saw the apple fall, Newton was the one who asked "why?".
