I don't blame you for not accepting science. Some of the theories they have these days are plain nuts.
Why don't you accept science too Badecker? If you did you would know that science has already proven that Newton 3rd law is wrong. That it's an excellent law to describe the world around us, but that if you look in details, it doesn't work.
When you look all over the Internet, and when you look in the science books, the closest you can come to finding
Newton's 3rd Law to be proven wrong is in science theory. Since science theory does not have the strength of science law, Newton's 3rd Law has not been proven wrong.
No. Newton's laws were invalidated by
direct observation of the orbit Mercury makes. Sun distorts the fabric of space-time enough to distort the orbit of Mercury. so Mercury does not follow the orbit calculated using classical mechanics.
Again, just because people don't know the causes and the effects, doesn't mean they are not there. If people think that something in the orbit of Mercury disproves Newton's 3rd Law, its only because they have been to Mercury and have examined every last particle of space in the area of Mercury's orbit.
We don't need to travel to Mercury to observe its orbit. We have eyes and telescopes. Now telescopes are digital, interfaced with computers, the discrepancies are measured, tests repeated an re-validated.
You are so good. You know about telescopes.
The things that you don't seem to know about are all the things that can't be observed or accounted for by the telescopes, no matter which kind of telescopes they are.
Newton's laws are invalid, but are a good approximation of that is really happening in nature.
My point is that we have invalidated the Newton's laws by observation not theories.
Somebody simply has some theories that they have invalidated Newton's laws by observation.
You want to believe that Newton's law have been invalidated by observing something like the orbit of Mercury, which is millions of miles away, but you can't do it with anything that you can put your hands on right here on earth only a few feet away?
If you don't realize that there are "things" out there that we don't know about, that affect the orbit of Mercury and so on, then you are missing it as a scientist.
Consider, for example, all the cosmology that makes way more sense that standard cosmology, found at
http://www.thunderbolts.info/ and
http://www.electricuniverse.info/. Even if electric universe is incorrect information, it shows that standard cosmology has all kinds of potential flaws.
Newton's laws stand as fact.
