350-Year-Old Newton's Puzzle Solved By 16-Year-Old

First time accepted submitter johnsnails writes "A German 16-year-old, Shouryya Ray, solved two fundamental particle dynamic theories posed by Sir Isaac Newton, which until recently required the use of powerful computers. He worked out how to calculate exactly the path of a projectile under gravity and subject to air resistance. Shouryya solved the problem while working on a school project. From the article: 'Mr Ray won a research award for his efforts and has been labeled a genius by the German media, but he put it down to "curiosity and schoolboy naivety." "When it was explained to us that the problems had no solutions, I thought to myself, 'well, there's no harm in trying,'" he said.'"

that's great. Maybe 'humanz' will figure out also 3 other things : aluminum noses cannot dive into steel towers, there was NO nuclear bomb and nuclear technology doesn't exist, humans are not older than a few 100 years, more likely at around 1649+- : http://tinyurl.com/99reasons 99 his|toree'cal reasons for 'nu|chronology' meets exp|femme'inism ;-) http://tinyurl.com/99reasons [[http://checkthis.com/djc1 ]] ( celebratin' now at https://soundcloud.com/ewing2001/mc-nicomedy2010-99-reasons ) excerpt: 99 The DINO-lie Think about it.
