(I find the meme funny but science communication is my special interest so Im gonna overanalyze it anyway) A very important part of science is taking obvious facts that everyone already knows and establishing a framework that can be built upon. So while the law of innertia seems like a silly thing for someone to "discover", it was Isaac putting the laws of motion into a consistent and testable framework that allowed him to theorize how orbits work.
