climbtree why do you lie all the time....

about 10 years ago now i went pig hunting with my friend sam and his dad and his dad's friend. i was pretty amped cause we got to carry the guns for them up to the hutt (we were hunting at rangitiwhiri hutt down south). so anyway we get up to the top of the hill and we put everything down but there was a family staying inside the hutt already, so they got first dibs i guess. we had brought a tent but it was still in the ute, so sam's dad and his friend headed back down to grab it. it was like a 30 minute hike one way , so sam and i jujst played around in the nearby trees. we played tag for a bit and then sam thought it'd be cool to play with the guns. even though they weren't loaded, we weren't meant to play with them because A: they were expensive, and B: because we shouldn't view them as toys. so anyway we're playing with them and i point mine at sam and pulled the trigger. next thing i knew i was on the ground and i couldn't move my hand, meanwhile there was screaming. it was the family that was staying in the hutt.

i pushed myself up with my good hand and then i saw the river of blood leading towards sam. my heart about stopped, i walked over to him and there was a fist sized hole in his shoulder. he was coughing up blood and tears were running down his face, i felt like a statue i had no idea what to do. we said some stuff i don't even remember back and forth but then he got quieter and quieter, so i leant in real close and this he said, and this i do remember
"Josh.... Josh..... Promise me..... promise me you'll lie all the time...."
and i did.

Gravity is a law, a fundamental force of nature, not a theory. There's a big difference.

No, it's not a law.

No it isn't.

There is the law of gravity which is the idea that an apple dropped from a height will fall and hit you on the head.

However, Gravitational Theory, is our theory of how the force of gravity actually works and how and why we perceive the force to exist. We know gravity exists, but it's a complete theory on why it exists and how it works.

Only some aspects of gravity have attained lawhood, like Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, where gravitational force is the product of two masses (ie Earth and moon), the inverse of the distance between them, and the Gravitational Constant (6.672x10^-11 or something like that).

Other than that, we don't know what gravity IS. We can describe what it does -- and we know it exists; jump off a tall building and see. But the thing is we don't know how it works -- some theories think it's the bending of space-time around an object, thus creating a gravitational field -- and others think that there is an exchange of particles on a very, very small level between those two objects. Because gravity is not fully explained, this aspect of it is still theory.

In all seriousness though, I don't believe in gravity. I believe in levity. In the negative direction. The negative's arbitrary, by the by, so when you were suddenly pushed sideways offa that 3,000 ft. high cliff, chances are someone was messing around with the gravity machine again.

EDIT: Damn it, what HL said.

Then we can conclude it's part and part? We know certain mechanics are law and it's building blocks remain as a mystery to us?

Yeah, I'd say it's pretty much half and half. I wonder who decides lawhood (lawship?); surely there's a better answer than that amorphous blob of people we call the 'scientific community.' There's gotta be a committee or something.

this is the topic where people that dont study or has studied physics post about what is a law and what isnt

James Gillies, a spokesman for CERN said: "We're flattered that the RSC should take such an interest in our public image, and we find the name Halo to be apposite. However, the LHC will not be changing its name."

They didn't change the name. The RSC (Royal Society of Chemistry) held a contest for people to come up with a better name.

Large Hadron Collider down for next two months.

Quote from: AP
GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) -- The world's largest atom smasher, which was launched with great fanfare earlier this month, is more badly damaged than previously thought and will be out of commission for at least two months, its operators said Saturday.

Is it me or did the amount this thing supposedly costs go up by 6 billion.
A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.
