i only read zobia’s first post and few other early posts before posting my response … and after posting my response, read a few more posts, and do have some more to say to zobia … (by the way still havent read all the posts so don’t know if missed some other important turns the discussion took)…but zobia
beta, your question was good, yes it took a lot of confidence for you to ask the question in front of 400 ppl or what not but don’t assume others have not done the same sor of thing at some point in some other way about some other issue they felt important…
also, i dont know what you are studying, but i have a feeling you have not majored in physics, or not yet atleast, so if people are sort well whats the word, informing you /correcting you, about Newton’s law don’t take offense, just listen quietly…and move on… u might understand their point later on…
newton’s law applies to mechanics, and its a physical law, and ppl who have loved and studied science like true scientists,know the scientific method, are offcourse gonna comment on your really broad and sort of personal way of using the law to frame your question… as a science enthusiast i can say it doesn’t apply, but ok fine you used it as you saw fit to frame your question while thinking on your feet in front of ppl, thats fine by me,
that doesnt mean u should hold on to that example so tight and try to defend it so harshly when other ppl comment on it…you are afterall posting on a public forum, so be prepared to hear from other people what they have to say (about which ever point of your post they want) who are just as intelligent as u, but are bringing different take or view point about different aspects, layers, of your post.
anyways good post…
