I am happy that there are some Physics-minded people here! I wonder how many actual physicists we have as members of this forum...

The clear answer is "not enough," but you all should have seen that one coming!

Either way, I would have to say that I hope you all are learning something from this thread...really, being proven wrong often gives us more knowledge in the physics community than being "proven" right.

After all, no answer is a final answer---such is the nature of the universe and our limited knowledge of it. Even the "Law" I adamantly defended is wrong under certain circumstances, typically involving gargantuan masses, and/or infinitesimal spaces. So, we really learn more from knowing where the model ceases to apply than from knowing where it does, even if we do not know what may happen beyond our initial model!

I HEART PHYSICS!
