Classical Physics

Newton's three laws and me

LAW ONE- When I throw a ball I can somewhat understand the theory of constant velocity-although it can appear to move at different rates. But it could just be the angles I see it moving at.

LAW TWO-Makes perfect sense again applying the throwing of a ball. The acceleration is directly proportional to the force/ air and mass/ size of the ball. Okay, I agree-totally!

LAW THREE- Yes, If two balls of same size and mass collided there force is the same at impact-okay that makes sense as well. Because you apply law two-I think to this theory....

Okay, not bad...whats next a curve ball?

Our "Energy Efficient" Culture

If applying The first law of thermodynamics to this question it appears that yes, we are extremely 'energy efficient'. Law one- Energy is conserved-the total energy content oft he universe shall remain constant; never being created or destroyed, but only transformed from one form to another.

Descartes has a lot to answer for!
Descartes,"advocated a mathematical description of the natural phenomena and the use of analytic thought to study nature".
It was a limited reductionist view that seemed to be invented during the renaissance. It was a period when man decided to no longer be a part of nature and have dominion over it. A very popular approach and catchy for centuries to follow. But this desparant separation of our natural relationship to all living things and our apparent relationship to quantum physics/ and chos theory of today make his theories out-dated. But I must thank him for changing humanities perception-it oviously came to pass for a reason.
