Newton's 3rd Law

Newton's 3rd Law of Dynamics applies to Humans as well !!

"EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION"

If one kills a man - i believe to give some time to the person to realise the mistake and then he will commit suicide.

anybody who help others will always get help from somewhere

anybody who makes a nuisance of himself / herself will find the correct punishment unles it is BIN LADEN

WAN used to seem positively normal.

Yeah, I think it only really works with regards to physical forces. Karma's a nice idea, but it's still just another piece of "behave yourself or bad things will happen" dogma that religions also peddle.

If you're going to use Newton's Laws as a guide to human behaviour, you might as well take the first law:

A particle will stay at rest or continue at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force

Therefore, if a person kills someone, if they are left to their own devices they will go on killing people unless stopped.

I'm not quite sure how Newton's second law (the net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration) would translate into human behaviour.

i accept that the majority of the wanners are very tolerant

i suppose newton's 2nd law applied to human behaviour would be that if you want to stop something or change its direction you have to apply force...

Mr Spacefrog: how about something like...

The likelihood of a person getting something done = how difficult it is x how much they want to do it

Wow, this is taking the grand unification theory to a whole new level :o)

Much as I hate to be a pedant, the interpretation of the third law above is a bit incorrect. If A exerts a force on B, B exerts an equal and opposite force on A. Thus the two forces act on two different bodies. Thus in chandra's analogy, both people would kill each other simultaneously...!
