guess there's more to newton's laws

All my school days i had a strange habit to decipher things a little beyond normal comprehension skills. My first target was coulomb's law. Let me quote the law as stated by Coulomb "two electrically charged specimen attract or repel each other if they are of opposite charge type and if they are of same charge type respectively. and the force of attraction is inversely related to the square of distance between them". The law seems simple and naive, interesting.

I thought a little among a different line, i always thought physical entities want to be stable. lets assume two charged species with magnitude (+3) coulomb and (-4) coulomb when they are apart there's something wrong, now imagine them together, the united product has (-1) coulomb and universe has much lesser charge/mass ratio. Sounds interesting? Lets dig a bit deeper consider the energy that is stored in the electrostatic field created when two charges are keep apart at some distance. Now when the charges join the what happens the overall electrostatic energy generated by them is immensely reduced. Charges flow from a higher potential to lower potential because there is a drive. But drive for what? To be more stable beca

I have an another evidence to support my verdict, newton's law of gravitation. i have no idea whether newton thought the same way i did, probably yes it seems more ordinary thinking and laws are often finding the most ordinary recurrence in numerous happenings around us. You all may be little interested to know about why i strangely talked about newton's law of gravitation. Lets not wait any longer, we all know about the big bang theory the universe was generated from a huge mass. Very naive statement of gravitational law would state "Two masses attract each other", what happens when they unite they become a single mass does it make universe a bit more stable. Lets say all masses in universe unite to form again a big single mass, have we moved to the pre big bang form. Yes we have. Sounds interesting? It always did to me.

Let me cite a way of looking at Bernoulli's law of hydrostatics. Those who don't know hydrostatics as name suggests is a law dealing with fluids. Law states "a substance partially or fully immersed in a fluid will experience a buoyancy force (an upward force) that is equal in magnitude to weight of fluid displaced by the substance. All of us have read a diagrammatic proof for it based on calculation of force on the object. Did any of you knew whats ordinary about the law. Now lets try out this, replace the quantity of fluid displaced by the substance with the same quantity of fluid in the displaced area (region). Does it bring the fluid back to its original stable version? It does. Sounds interesting? It always did to me.

The recent buzz in christian community of a belief that their existed a community "priority of scion" which believed in unison of men and women. They believed worship of a supernatural power should be in form of unison rather than an individual, interesting. It again strengthens the basis coulomb hinted. Historians predict Newton was a member of this community, something that made my thinking more realistic. This community strangely had a worship festival when men and women came together and had a sexual intercourse. Sounds very wired, it does but we don't know about all ways people can take to testify their belief.

The story is not over, it was never for me. There's always a conflicting belief to the underlying phenomenon of universe trying to be stable, that is entropy. For those who don't know about it, entropy is a standard to measure disorderliness in a system. And another naive law of thermodynamics states "entropy is a given system cannot decrease without entropy being increased in an another system". Law of attraction predicts we want to move toward a more stable system but interesting point is where are we dispelling entropy. Somebody is consuming it if coulomb's and newton's belief are true. The whole phenomenon is complex and we are still exploring.

I was always attracted to physics because it seemed to hint something ordinary to me, believe me all this ordinary visions are rules that rule this physical world. Eintein was trying for a unified field theory i really repent his not being able to complete it probaly it had answer to all my questions.

you stated few basic physical laws and interpreted them in term of very basic nature of universe to gain stability. But it is already wide known fact and even it is explained in the widely read +12 book named 'Physics by H.C. Verma'. let it be two entities of charged particles or a ball on hill-top or two mass bulks, system drives itself in a particular direction to attain more stability.

let me state few known scientific facts about the origin of universe from ages. The whole universe is created from a single piece of mass. the reason of explosion of that single piece of mass into infinte pieces was extraordinary amount of heat energy generated due to immense gravitational forces within which made the single piece of mass unable to sustain its stability. it brokes into pieces and continuously driving them away from its initial location with restect to time till date. "stars are still moving away from earth." refer 'Red shift theory'. Mr. Stephen Hawkings predicted that havenly bodies would again move towards each other when they reache a limitation point in their travel. scientists are still specualting the prospect of 'Pre big Bang' state. I am not sure whether it is mathematically proved concept.

your conclusion of 'pre big bang' state purely based on gravitational attractive of entites to reunite is a kind of child hood fantasy with low in logical input. how do you prove that this time they would avoid the generated energy resultant of their coming closer ?


regarding 'Bernoulli's law of hydrostatics', you have stated a stability of water level if one replaces 'displaced water' by same amount of material. I think it is purely a physcics question of +12 level.let me give an example. take a bucket full of water.imagine a hollow ball made of water. put that one in ur full bucket.now you keep taking water from ur bucket and fill the hollow ball. everytime the water level remains same. so, now u can replace that imaginary water ball by any anything and do same.(if u go for denser material than water then keep water level in bucket lil low to avoid water spill.) u will find stability in water level.


I couldn't relate with community "priority of scion"'s belief of worshipping God and Coulomb's law. one is personal belief and other one is scientific fact. in one case, two reunite to attain the feeling of divine. do you mean that feeling of divine is equal to stability in term of energy ???

i would have been pleasantly surprised if you could able to relate these physical laws with real world events ...may be to interpret business conflicts, terrorism or behaviour of humane in ceratin cases.
