The one funny thing about the way the majority of people use math, "close does count", until you get to a certain advanced point. Then we say "this works for all but a few special cases... close enough"
Obviously Newtonian gravity is much more understandable to your average person than say general relativity and also offers a good aproximation of expected behaviors of the physical world.
I'd say there is a good chance it is all one Unified Field. When including torque in Einstein's equations (and not assuming you are locked on the spinning object), this guy's solution works from the micro to the macro. Check it out.
...So, what it really says to me, as that people who are interested in reading enough to go out and buy a $200-$400 device to read books on read more books than people who aren't interested enough in reading to spend $200-$400 on a device to read books on....
It says they BUY more 3.1 times more books. It does NOT say that they read them.

Dude, you have not heard the voices inside my head. Otherwise, you would see clearly the point being made.
"The claims of evolution skeptics and round-earth skeptics is not backed up by observation and evidence."
This is not true. It's nice and quaint (and traditional) to get on board and lump something that we have evidence of, seeing a round earth from space, and something which we cannot prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, namely, what happened 5 to 10 thousand years ago. What would be scientific and logical of someone would be that, when finding the same type of data that supports current evolution theory, is not to toss it out because it doesn't support the existing theory. This happens over and over again and is circular reasoning.
I'm wise enough to say I can't know what happened 5 thousand years ago and that just because someone with a degree says something doesn't mean shit. There are more than two possibilities here in this bipolar world.
Everyone knows the worlds weather is changing. Wouldn't it be something if it was always the same? Lining points up on a graph doesn't prove anything. Say it again kids: correlation doesn't prove causality. Why don't you here people talking about how ALL of the planets in our solar system are heating up simultaneously? That is an observable fact we have now.

"You have to bypass the Heisenberg Compensaters to create an inertial sump, then reverse the polarity on the Warp Field Generators, then combine the streams(yes, this time you do!) and reroute the output to the deflector dish to emit a focused tachyon pulse that has to be synchronized and modulated with the inertia compensator's artificial gravity generator, pipe your Tor proxy through that and Lynx then flies at near light speeds down the 'tubes'!"

There is no way they can know the complete soil mechanics in 3D in a deep drilling process. It's not like predicting the path of a billiard ball or something. Unless... of course! They're going to use Google Earth(TM) to map it out!
You guys always crack me up. You think there is a real difference between democrat and republican politicians in this day and age?! Fighting amongst yourselves is exactly what the international banksters that own the banks that own the banks want you to do.
If your politician isn't standing up and screaming, "Hey, quit printing money out of thin air and charging us interest on it you bastards!", then they are all part of the same problem. Having people tied to the government determine the cost of fiat money (interest rates) is a complete recipe for disaster. The last 35 years are proof of this. The US has over 11 TRILLION dollars in debt and imports more than it exports. You think having a different political party in ANY of the branches of government is going to help this?
And don't start with the BS about "% of GDP", because the GDP is made up in large part from consumer debt. But please, continue your squabbling, it makes you good global citizens.

"Earthquake proof"? Is that like "unsinkable"? And who among us hasn't broken the "unbreakable" comb, huh?

Y2K = 1 less character than 2000. Spiffy.
Y2K16 = 1 MORE character than 2016.

I'd say more likely a symbol of ownership. It's a leash.

"No. I am not "four years old". Are you?"
So... your comeback to "Are you 4 years old?" is "I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?"
Sweet!
