What Impacts Will Newton Have In The Future

Will anyone ever find an exception for Newton's third law in the future?

There is no exception to Newton's third law . Force between two long current carrying conducting wires placed perpendicular to each other seem to violate the law . But this violation is only apparent and not real .

Is Cam Newton a future hall of famer?

When all is said and done, yes.The Hall of Fame is for players whose greatness redefines the league or defines an era. Cam Newton’s ability as a running quarterback is shattering all previous records and raising the bar for everyone else. He already has the most rushing touchdowns by a QB at the beginning of just his sixth season; imagine where the record stands if he’s still playing six season from now. He's not a perfect QB and his current lack of Super Bowls doesn't help him, but that kind of unprecedented dominance is helping redefine the quarterback position for the future. To me, that’s HOF-worthy right there.

Will people like Isaac Newton be remembered throughout the future of the human race?

The invention of the wheel was probably one of the most important inventions in human times. So was the taming of fire. Remember the people who did those things?No?In 10,000 years we’ll still be human, but Isaac Newton will probably be lost to time. (Creating names that way - First Last - might also have changed by then - it wasn’t so long ago that you were known simply as “John of ” or “John the ” That’s where names like Carpenter and Wainwright come from. [A wain was a large wagon for farm use.])

Should I trade Cam Newton for Latavius Murray and Will Fuller?

1 ppr, 3 points for plays over 40 yards.

I missed my chance for Fuller on waivers week 1, and would like him. I'm not sold on Latavius Murray, but I need some more WR/RB depth. Any thoughts on this trade?

My current starting WR/RB are:

DeMarco Murray
Theo Riddick
Michael Floyd
Michael Crabtree
DeSean Jackson

Why is halleys comet important/impacted the future?

It is of no particular importance in itself. It helped in understanding the nature of certain comets, but it did not lead to any fundamental advances. And it does not have any impact for the future. It has been orbiting the sun for a long, long time without having any impact on the Earth, and it will continue to do so for a long, long time yet.

What were Isaac Newton's greatest accomplishments?

Newton was the greatest scientist that Britain, or even the world, has produced. He is famous for the binomial theorem and the differential calculus, for the Laws of Motion, the diffusion of light and for the discovering the principal of gravity.

One of Newton’s lesser-known inventions was the cat flap, which allowed his pets to move freely without disturbing his experiments.

Does the concept of "free will" violate Newton's laws of motion?

Consider:

Let's say someone has thrown a baseball at you. You can either catch it, or try to dodge it. In order for you to have "free will" in this scenario -- in other words, in order for you to have a choice for whether to catch it or dodge it -- then you must have a thought which stimulates the nerves in your body to activate the muscles whether in your arms/hands (to catch the ball) or legs/torso (to dodge the ball).

In order to have free will, those nerve impulses had to have two different possible tracks, both of which can be traced back to the original thought: the choice. The thought initiated a chemical reaction in the brain, which generated the nerve impulse. This chemical reaction involved the motion of particles.

Newton's laws state that any change in motion must have a stimulus; without the stimulus, objects tend to stay in motion or tend to stay still. But this thought was a stimulus.

However, if "free will" exists, then what generated the thought? Nothing was acting upon it. And if something was acting upon it, what generated the action? There can't be two possible nerve routes if Newton's laws are to be preserved. Whatever the ultimate action is, whatever the choice was, it was necessarily inevitable all along.

This proves therefore that either of the following is true:

1) Everything is predetermined.

or

2) Something that generates thoughts is not subject to the laws of nature.

This is either a proof of predeterminism or a proof of the existence of a soul. Pretty interesting, huh?

How does Newton's third law hold true in space?

It holds true everywhere. That's why we call it a law. It's actually easier to see in space, since you don't have atmosphere and friction making the forces hard to see.You're probably thinking of this question:In space, how does rocket fuel propel rockets when the fire has nothing to push off of?which already has good answers. It's actually a perfect illustration of the Third Law. The hot rocket exhaust goes one direction; the rocket goes in the opposite direction. The force on the exhaust pushing it backwards is exactly equal and opposite to the force on the rocket going forwards. "Pushing against air" actually just confuses the issue. Airplanes don't push against air, either. They use the air to push themselves up, 90 degrees from the direction of the force. The force pushes them forward; when they encounter air, it has to go somewhere, and the wings direct it down so the plane goes up. That's hard to see and more complicated than I'm letting on. It's far clearer in the case of the rocket, which only goes in the opposite direction of the exhaust.Space is also where planets orbit. Again, not having the air there makes this simpler. The sun exerts a force on the planet; the planet exerts the same force on the sun. The sun is so much larger that it barely moves, but it does. We detect planets in other solar systems by the way they make the star wobble. The force on the planet is constant. It doesn't fall into the sun because its sideways motion takes it around the star instead.The underlying "how" is really only answered by "it just is". Actually, what "just is" is a rather more complicated (and actually, more elegant) set of laws discovered by Einstein, but you still don't get away from the fact that as far as we know "it just is". That's what time and space are. We learn more every day, and there's a huge amount more to learn, before we get to a "final" answer, if there is one at all. But to a first approximation, you can say that Newton's third law holds in precisely the same way that the others do. It doesn't need air to mediate it. It is just a feature of the universe that forces balance.

Will Cam Newton ever be stripped of his Heisman Trophy in the future as Reggie Bush was?

Well, if I remember correctly, Reggie Bush is the only Heisman winner to have lost his trophy, and he had willingly given it up after the Yahoo Sports investigation lead to some real hard evidence of him getting lots of illegal benefits while playing at USC. In addition, I recall that the Heisman committee had repeated said that they would not strip Reggie Bush of his trophy.With that said that, who knows what the committee would have actually done if Bush had not willingly returned the trophy. There are numerous examples of sports individuals saying one thing, and eventually doing another (Nick Saban comes to mind immediately).I believe that similar to the Bush situation, people will continue to look into Cam Newton's allegations. Bush won the 2005 Heisman trophy, yet the investigation didn't end until 2010 when he voluntarily forfeited his award. I can absolutely imagine that in the next few years that more and more details of Cam Newton and his father will be uncovered. If any of it ends up being material evidence, I can absolutely see this investigation being reopened and reconsidered, similar to the Bush situation.
