Does anyone know why community posts don't count? I don't exactly give a sh*t about post counts, just seems silly for a post not to be counted as a post.

This thread is also silly. Needs more cats.

yeah it is

it did sound like he believed that Newton's Laws were carved in stone and didnt know that scientists are still trying to find the answers that will make the theories into laws or principles w/e

there is still so much that our little guesses cant begin to explain
up to a point we can see and feel our way
but then things start unraveling and the theories fall apart and we are back to square one
or one hunderd and one
wherever the extropolations started disagreeing with the reality

Both. Bold text mine.

im trying to look at the big pic

there are enough discrepancies in the theory (that is based on the laws and principles) that scientists are still looking for the real answer

the flat earth theory was based on pretty conclusive scientific knowledge
but it was wrong
and it took more investigation of the theory to figure out the true answer

Gravity is a scientific theory. Gravity is the concept and rules as to why and how something produces a gravitational affect and how that can be used.

Scientific law is that if you're in space and you drop something it doesn't go anywhere but if you're on Terraferma it will plummet to the ground.

Law is the observation, theory is the explanation.

everyone knows that newtons laws of gravity were shot all to hell by einsteins theory of relativity right?

just because a theory covers an existing phenonomen and almost answers the question of how it works does not mean it is the truth or the correct answer

Shot to hell? They completely compliment each other actually. Einstein simply utilized Newton's therories and added the concept of time.

Thrice

thats a new one to me, sounds like a jew rule IMO

hehe, you said the J word.

Fyrenza

you are missing the point

regardless of which theory we look at
if
at any point
it is disproven by facts
then it was based on incorrect data and is not the correct answer

newtons laws were built on but ultimately disproved by einsteins theory of relativity

one day someone may come along and disprove einsteins theories
but not if everyone quits probing for the real answer
