Laws that have been proven over time to be mistaken
-
one such example is issac newton law of gravity.
any others?
homework help needed. cant find any info! -
You mean what Issac Newton experienced wasn't gravity?
-
You think what he experienced was magic?
-
If Newton sat under a durian tree, there might not have been the discovery of gravity.

Durian only falls at night according to most people..he was asleep under the apple tree in the afternoon..so even if you change that tree to a durian tree, he won't die..but he won't discover gravity either..Originally posted by charlize:If Newton sat under a durian tree, there might not have been the discovery of gravity. -
it is not true that durian only falls at night but MOSTLY drop at nightOriginally posted by alleggerita:Durian only falls at night according to most people..he was asleep under the apple tree in the afternoon..so even if you change that tree to a durian tree, he won't die..but he won't discover gravity either..
strong wind can make durians drop too -
If he didnt discover gravity, then the name 'Newton' would not be known.. and that sg MRT station would have name another name..

Ok..then probably Newton won't be able to live and talk about gravity if he was under a durian tree..Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:it is not true that durian only falls at night but MOSTLY drop at night

it is said a durian tree will never drop durians on people heads

Same for coconuts ain't it?Originally posted by sexyfats:it is said a durian tree will never drop durians on people heads -
it was modified along times

Einstein, at the age of 16, pointed out a flaw in Newton's law of motion. He went on to come out with the theory of relativity.Originally posted by alleggerita:You mean what Issac Newton experienced wasn't gravity?
I wonder what all of us were doing at age 16
Btw, TS, you might also want to look into
1) Wave-particle duality
2) Hsienberg's Uncertainty principle vs the original definition of an atom by some guy whose name starts with B (I forgot his name
) -
newtonian physics is just a specific case of relativity...
which may be proven wrong or incomplete too..
the only absolute is math... -
Then how about Murphy's Law? The lamest I've ever heard..whatever can go wrong, will go wrong..

Erm, there are no durian trees in UK.Originally posted by alleggerita:Ok..then probably Newton won't be able to live and talk about gravity if he was under a durian tree.. -
newtonian physics is a not really a specific case of relativity. It is rather, a simplification of the concept relativity, when the speed in question is much much smaller than the speed of light.Originally posted by the Bear:newtonian physics is just a specific case of relativity...

The pH scale is useless.
Acid's is 0. Neutral is 7. Alkali is 14.
If it's very acidic, a negative rating would be used. But typical measuring techniques have only 0 - 14 scale. Wouldn't it better to start the neutral scale at 0 instead?

i thought is under apple tree , how come durian tree one
-
sia la the tree so nice ah.. don want to drop on ppl's head hahaOriginally posted by sexyfats:it is said a durian tree will never drop durians on people heads -
newton's three laws still hold true
what you are referring to is the THEORY of gravity proposed by newton, later supplemented by the theory of relativity coined by Einstein.
In general everyday usage, the theory of gravity can still be used accurately. It is only when you're concerned about extreme accuracy or small interactions where it breaks down. -
Imgaine if the durian fell near him, then he calls gravity durian....

You mean Bohr?Originally posted by eagle:2) Hsienberg's Uncertainty principle vs the original definition of an atom by some guy whose name starts with B (I forgot his name ) -
super string theory?
