It is much more natural to be surprised by unusual phenomena like eclipses than ordinary phenomena like falling bodies or the succession of night into day and day into night. Many cultures invented gods to explain these eclipses that shocked, frightened, or surprised them; but very few imagined a god of falling bodies to which they were so accustomed that they did not even notice them. But the reason for eclipses is ultimately the same as that of the succession of night and day: the movement of celestial bodies, which itself is based on the Newtonian law of attraction and how it explains why things fall when we let them go. For the physicist, understanding the ordinary, the habitual, and the frequent thus allows us to account for the frightening and the singular. As such, it was thus necessary to ask "Why do things fall?" and to have Newton's response to understand a broad range of much more bizarre phenomena occurring at every level of the universe.

It is much more natural to be surprised by unusual phenomena like eclipses than ordinary phenomena like falling bodies or the succession of night into day and day into night.

일식과 같은 특이한 현상에 놀라는 것은 낙하하는 물체나 밤이 낮으로, 낮이 밤으로 이어지는 현상과 같은 평범한 현상보다 훨씬 더 자연스러운 일입니다. 

Many cultures invented gods to explain these eclipses that shocked, frightened, or surprised them;

많은 문화권에서 이러한 일식에 대한 설명을 위해 신을 만들어냈는데, 이러한 일식은 그들에게 충격과 공포, 놀라움을 안겨주었습니다. 

but very few imagined a god of falling bodies to which they were so accustomed that they did not even notice them.

하지만 낙하하는 물체의 신을 상상한 사람은 거의 없었습니다. 그들은 너무 익숙해져서 그 신을 알아차리지도 못했습니다. 

But the reason for eclipses is ultimately the same as that of the succession of night and day: the movement of celestial bodies, which itself is based on the Newtonian law of attraction and how it explains why things fall when we let them go.

하지만 일식의 원인은 결국 밤과 낮의 연속과 같습니다. 천체의 운동은 뉴턴의 인력의 법칙에 기반하며, 우리가 물체를 놓았을 때 물체가 떨어지는 이유를 설명합니다. 

For the physicist, understanding the ordinary, the habitual, and the frequent thus allows us to account for the frightening and the singular.

물리학자에게 일상적이고 습관적이며 빈번한 현상을 이해함으로써 우리는 두려운 것과 특이한 것을 설명할 수 있습니다. 

As such, it was thus necessary to ask "Why do things fall?" and to have Newton's response to understand a broad range of much more bizarre phenomena occurring at every level of the universe.

따라서 "왜 물체가 떨어지는가?"라는 질문을 던지고, 우주의 모든 차원에서 발생하는 훨씬 더 기괴한 현상들을 이해하기 위해 뉴턴의 답을 구하는 것이 필요했습니다.
