Every action has equal & opposite reaction? as per Newton Laws.

Will it be true incase of astronomical Objects?

Two balls collide then they go away in opposite direction.
------------------------------------------------------

1. A star Collides with a Black hole? Will the Black hole eat that
star or the Black Hole will get thrown away?

Do black hole remain stationary or they revolve arround in sky?

A ball Collides with a Wall it bounce back.
--------------------------------------------------------------

A star at Edge of Universe gets Collide with the Wall of Universe.
That is it strikes the boundry of Universe. Will it bounce Back?

If I consider our Universe as a Ballon with stars as its air. And this
Ballon is expanding by someone filling inside air of stars. What will
happen when the Universe Brust. Will we see a bigger Universe?

Depends on the size and density of both.

They are at the center of galaxies mostly and are moving with the entire
galaxy in it's orbit around the universe.

What boundary?
What we see is not a physical boundary or wall.
It is simply the limited distance light can travel.

It has no surface to burst.
outside of expanding space is just more space or it could
not expand at all.

Wrong.  When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second
object exerts a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction upon
the first.

If you push on anything, it pushes back on you. That's why if you lean
against the wall, you don't just fall through it. The wall pushes back
on you as hard as you push on it, and you and the wall stay in place.
If you throw something, you put more force behind it than just leaning
on it, so it pushes back with more force. This is hard to observe,
because usually, if you throw something away from you, the friction
between you and the floor makes resistance to keep you in place.

Not always. Newton stated that before the theory of electrodynamics was in

Got an example?  A magnet pulls on a paperclip, the paperclip pulls on
the magnet too.  Light is transmitted between an emitter and receiver,
the net interaction maintains "conservation of momentum"...

It does to.
If you use it correctly, meaning you treat each and every electron
seperately.
but of course. that is crazy math, so you use the quicker methods.
But that does not prove Newton was wrong at all.

  Pete... I'm having trouble with your statement. Does not conservation
  of momentum apply in both emission abs absorption of photons, virtual

What do you mean? The modern way to interpret "equal and opposite
reactions" is in terms of conservation of momentum, and that certainly
holds in E&M: There is momentum in particles, and also in the
electromagnetic field. The sum of the two is a constant.

That is wrong. The fact that Newton's 3rd law doesn't work in all
circumstances is a well known fact. Most basic EM texts expain this.
Merely consider two charged particles which are traveling along paths
which are at right angles with respect to the observer. It is readily
seen by a simple calculation that the forces are not equal and
opposite.

But we are able to observe the physical world and make statements about it.
We can state what the forces are on charged particles and we can state what
directions they are moving in etc. And this applies not only to charged
particles but also to macrosopic charged bodies too. One can construct two
charged macroscopic bodies and set them into relative motion and then
observe the forces which act on them. They will not be equal and opposite.

>.. fo r   instance you probably think that energy has no mass do you ??

Energy is not a thing which can have a property like mass. Energy is a
property itself. So no. I don't think that energy has mass. I think that
quantities which have energy may also have mass. A photon *has* energy and
by virtue of that energy also has (relativistic) mass.

When two charged particles interact and don't obey Newton's third law it is
because there are photons which take up the momentum that seems to be
missing. However this does not validate Newton's 3rd law. That law refers to
equal and opposite forces and they are not so. But this does not present a
problem with the conservation of momentum.

Actually, whether it's up in the air or out in space,
Bert, the "thrust" that's needed to "push" a jet or a
rocket is provided by a reaction engine that forces a
fast moving jet of fluid in the rearward direction.
This is in direct accordance with Isaac Newton's laws
of motion. The jet of fluid discharged in the "opposite"
direction makes the jet or rocket move in the forward
direction.

Also, small directional thrusters use this same law of
motion in space to precisely move a spacecraft in
several different directions.  They're used for such
things as docking with other spacecraft, orientation
of the vehicle for proper reentry into the atmosphere,
and so on.  This is what's happening when you hear
an astronaut ready the ship for a "two-second burn".

Still not sure what you're saying, Bert.  When i was a
kid and released a toy balloon, the air from the inside
of the balloon rushed out the open end and pushed the
balloon all around in a chaotic motion.

And it's still the same Newtonian law of motion at work:
To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Bert is picturing the reactive force as being against the closed end
of the balloon, thus pushing the balloon in that direction. But the
*center of reactive pressure* is actually at the small point of the
nozzle aperture. Thus the balloon is 'pushed around chaotically'
instead of in a straight line. If you remember Goddard's first
rockets, he mounted the engine on `top` of the whole assembly to
achieve stability by the pendulum effect.
G=EMC^2 Glazier - 01 Jul 2008 17:13 GMT
oc  Controlling the opening controls the pressure. Greater pressure
faster the rocket goes. Release the pressure all at once and there is no
push. Pressure goes to less or no pressure.  Like heat goes to cold.
Well Painius & oc think about it my way instead of Newtons,and it fits
too  Bert
G=EMC^2 Glazier - 01 Jul 2008 17:02 GMT
Painius Not arguing the air went out the open end,but their was pressure
on the closed end and this pressure is the push force that pushed the
balloon forward.  The gas going out need not push against anything.
Try to picture inside the action taking place   Bert

Okay, i get it. You're saying that there is a pressure
difference between the inside of the balloon and the
outside of the balloon at the closed end.  And that it
is this pressure on the inside at the closed end that
pushes the balloon.  And this pressure, that is there
inside the inflated balloon all the time and pushing
outward on the inside walls of the balloon, is the
force that pushes the balloon when the little nozzle
is opened at the opposite end from the closed end.

Have i got it right so far, Bert?

Now, this pressure on the inside walls of the balloon,
BEFORE the open end is opened, is pretty much the
same amount of pressure on every square inch of
the inside of the balloon, correct?

So if the pressure is pretty much equal at all points
on the inside walls of the balloon, then what exactly
happens AT THE VERY MOMENT that the balloon is
opened?  If it is the pressure on the inside walls of
the balloon that drives the balloon forward and away
from the open end, then why doesn't the balloon go
left or right when the open end is opened? Why does
the balloon aways go in the direction that is opposite
from the opened end?

I guess what i'm asking you, Bert, is how does the
pressure, that is equal at all points on the inside of
the balloon just before opening the nozzle, how and
why does that pressure all move instantly to the
closed end and then push JUST at the inside wall at
the closed end?  Why doesn't the pressure continue
to push with equal force on every square inch of the
inside walls of the balloon?

Don't you find it suspicious that this pressure that
you say is at the closed end of the balloon just
happens to instantly concentrate itself at the end of
the balloon that is precisely "opposite" from the open
end of the balloon?

And what happens to the pressure, which I assume
is supposed to concentrate in the nose of a jet plane,
when the pilot turns off the jet engine?  Where does
it go?  And why does it go?  And how did the pressure
get there to the nose of the airplane in the first place?

There has to be a *source* for the force, Bert.  What
is the source of the forward pressure? What *causes*
it?

Have you fired a gun?  Have you felt the recoil or
"kick" just as the bullet leaves the gun?  How do you
explain this shoulder-wrenching "kick"?

Painius You ended with the closed end of he gun. Here you are given me
the visa versa.            Balloon filed with air of 35psi  with no
opening stays put. It has equal pressure on every square inch inside.
Its rubber sides have blown up and it is a ball because its inside
pressure is greater than the 14,5 pressure outside. Poke a pin in it and
it will explode(I love to do that )  Make he right size hole and the
pressure  on the  inside rubber will push against that 14.5 because it
is about 21 psi stronger. Its the end that still has the pressure but
yes it is losing it.fast  Its not the open nozzle that is doing any
pushing.  Well Painius lets put it down as thinking in the right

The gas, being under acceleration, is 'pushing against' its own
resting inertia. The 'push' occurs only in the region of  the gas
stream that is under acceleration, peaking at the narrowest point of
the rocket nozzle. No acceleration = no 'push'.

> When I jump up I

Now try jumping up without accelerating, and see how far off the
ground you get.

Did you ever play with a Slinky and watch the reflected compression-
rarefaction waves running back and forth? Those are also inertial-
accelerational waves.    

> that is what "equal, but opposite reactions are all about"

But without an acceleration/(deceleration) component there is no
'reaction'.
G=EMC^2 Glazier - 02 Jul 2008 18:05 GMT
oc You say the gas is pushing against itself(own inertia) I relate that
by kicking myself in the a.s to accelerate me forward. Or picking myself
up with my suspenders.  Jumping up I start decelerating just as soon as
my knees straighten out.  At my age 1.5 feet is as high a jump I can
achieve.  Cone shape of a rockets back compression wall is its best
shape.(Curved) Keeping the pressure steady at the compression inner wall
of rocket gives it time to accelerate. Greater heat greater
compression,and that is why aluminum powder is spayed into the
combustion chamber.  Bert  PS I will bring in the great push up force of

The ends of a compressed spring move over a distance when released,
even if the center doesn't.

In the case of a rocket, one end is moving hella faster than the other.

Try this: Put yourself and a small pile of bricks in an old Radio Flyer
wagon, and the wagon on a level surface. Now start throwing bricks off
the back of the wagon, as hard as you can, as level as you can.

What do you think will happen to you and the wagon?

How about you just realize that as you make the little atoms accelerate
out of the back end of the rocket, it makes the rocket accelerate in the
other direction?

Bert, you're still not getting it, my friend...

It won't matter how much pressure you push with your
feet on the inside wall of the wagon, and it won't matter
how long you push with your feet.  You can sit there all
friggin' day and night pushing your feet up against that
wagon wall, and i guarantee you won't move one iota of
a centimeter until you throw out that brick!

It's the throwing of the brick that moves the wagon, NOT
your feet pushing against the inside wall.

Newton didn't know gravity very well, but he had motion

Try this... push as hard as you can with your feet, and
then throw the brick in the *forward* direction, throw it
in the same direction you're pushing hard with your feet.

No matter how hard you push with your feet, by throwing
the brick forward, this will cause you and the wagon to

And you can even calculate how fast your Radio Flyer will move, if you
know how fast you can throw a brick, how heavy a brick is, and how heavy
you and the wagon are. That's how well Newton knew motion.

Well, okay.

Part of the problem is that since you're using nonstandard terminology
to express things that in the end don't make a difference in the

Inertial propulsion or reactionless drives are in the same realm as
'perpetual motion' machines. No matter how cleverly crafted or
portrayed, the concept ends up violating conservation of momentum.

Saul so rightly pointed out(short posts are best) and I have been doing
the 4th on boiler makers.  Mother nature made Mexican jumping beans(I
bought them as a kid.   They were fun to watch. Inside was a tiny white
worm. It was a clever worm and never heard about Newton's laws. In the
darkness of this inclosed shell it knew which side was up.and its put
energy on that up side and took the shell with him.   Best not to argue
with mother nature  Bert
oldcoot - 05 Jul 2008 03:11 GMT
Yeah Bert, but suspend the Mexican jumping bean in free space. How's
it going to "jump"? :-) Reactionless drives have to be able to work in
free space, out of any contact with air, water, or the ground.  So
far, none have ever panned out because there was always sumpin' for
them to react 'against', like the jumping bean sittin' on the ground.
G=EMC^2 Glazier - 05 Jul 2008 12:30 GMT
oc I knew you would hit me with that floating in space bit(and right you
are)  Still it was amazing to see a round shell just jump up of the
ground.  Finding that tiny worm inside to accomplish this feat was just
as amazing.  I wonder if a magnetic coil shooting a heavy projectile
inside a rocket could do this ??  It has lots of inertia,and that
forward pressure wall would be hit with a great force.  It could be a
greater force than the force in the opposite direction.  Might be worth
a try.  Its easy to do.      You could use the Bendix in a car starter.
You could go big and use a maglev train.                oc maybe they
will take some Mexican jumping beans on the next shuttle,and see if it
moves in one direction. I think after 40 years of just going round and
round this could be NASA most profound experiment.   Bert

No t'wouldn't, Bert. Granted, it would hit the forward bulkhead with
higher `peak impact` pressure. But the total energy dissipated would
still equal the energy of launching the projectile. Result: zero
forward momentum imparted to the spaceship. The idea is reminiscent of
the enigmatic 'Dean Drive' which was highly touted for a while in back
in the 50s but then faded to obscurity.

No cigar. :-) Sure, when you throw yer feet forward and back, you're
applying a varying force vector to the fulcrum of the swing, and by
synchronyzing it with the swing's natural period, you set the swing
"oscillating" higher and higher. The force-vectoring system is
connected to 'something' (the fulcrum) against which it reacts.

And... "outside energy" is always needed when the
swinger is young and hasn't mastered the motions
of swinging yet.  A little push on the bum gets them
going, and then i mosey around front while telling
the child to straighten the legs when going forward.

When i arrive around front, if the child has swung
the feet forward, i reward him or her with a jerk of
my head back, as if the child kicked me.  Now, the
kid's not stupid and knows he or she didn't *really*
kick me.  And yet it's great for getting high-grade
giggles and to help them easily remember to keep
their legs straight on the forward shwing!

No argument there, Bert...

       http://waynesword.palomar.edu/plaug97.htm

"Probably the most interesting thing about Mexican jumping
bean shrubs are the remarkable 'beans' that jerk and roll
about with seemingly perpetual motion.  It is doubtful (or
very rare) that they actually "jump" above the surface of
the ground, but they can certainly roll and tumble along in
different directions.

Just as pineapples are not apples and peanuts are not nuts,
the jumping bean is not a bean, nor is  it a seed.  It is
actually a small, thin-shelled section of a seed capsule
containing the larva of a small gray moth called the jumping
bean moth (Laspeyresia saltitans).  After  consuming the
seed within the capsule section, the robust, yellowish-white
larva has the peculiar habit of throwing itself forcibly from
one wall to the other, thereby causing the jumping
movements of the capsule.

Mexican jumping bean capsules typically separate into three
parts or sections, some of which contain a moth larva.  It is
these separate sections (technically called carpels) that are
sold as 'jumping beans'."

Nothing that breaks Newton's laws here.  This is akin to
being inside a large, flexible ball and causing it to roll all
over the place.  Or rolling all over in a large innertube.

And there's no going "up"!  Mexican jumping beans can
roll all over the place, but they don't leave the ground.

Sure they can, if the larva happens to jump upward from the bottom of
the capsule with sufficient vigour. As it pushes off, the force is
transferred through the 'floor', which in turn experiences an equal
reaction force from the ground, so that the work the larva does while
jumping is mostly converted to kinetic energy of upward motion. When it
collides with the 'ceiling' some of its momentum will be transferred to
the capsule, briefly lifting it off the ground.

You can do something similar with a large cardboard box: stand inside
and jump into the air, grabbing the sides immediately after your feet
leave the floor. You can lift the box off the ground this way, and even
hop in a chosen direction, without directly applying force to anything
outside the box; again it's the reaction force from the floor underneath
that 'balances the books'.

No way.  I can't see it...

"When it collides with the 'ceiling' some of its momentum
will be transferred to the capsule, briefly lifting it off the
ground."

Now i agree with the part about the worm pushing off and
force being transferred through to the floor.  This is the
third law at work. So i should have said, "Mexican jumping
beans can roll all over the place, but they only rarely leave
the ground."

But there is no way that i can see for the worm's energy
when it collides with the ceiling to lift the capsule off the
ground.  This sounds exactly like Bert's kicking the inside
wall of the wagon to no avail.

No, because in that case the forces on all parts of the wagon balance:
the forward thrust of Bert's feet is matched by a rearward force
transmitted through his seat (or his rear foot, if he's standing up in
the wagon). If he were to place the wagon on the street with its rear
wheels against the curb, then jump forward, pushing off against the rear
inner wall of the wagon bed, when he lands on the wagon it will roll
forward. This would be a better analogy for the jumping-bean situation;
here the curb supplies the reaction force.

Pendulums show that heavy objects and light objects fall at the same

as a pendulum with a ligjht bob.  Only the length of the shaft makes a

Oddly, we can all look directly at the 1e-21 bar vacuum of the Selene/

It actually is less than dirt cheap and first come first served, and
it looks as though China is going to be in charge of the Selene/moon
L1.  I hope we can remain nice to China, because otherwise that nifty
L-1 could offer China quite a tactical (aka star wars) advantage.

I'm not well enough informed about all of that spendy Helium.
However, that's certainly a valid though weird argument about using
the moon's L1, however our DNA might have to evolve into something a

You don't like them burned at the core?

But good question.  where is the equal and opposite reaction to
"pop"?  Newton's third law could be on the line here!

Painius  No pop corn in Newton's spacetime. As a kid I made pop corn by
taking the lid of the top of our very big black stove(must have weighed
600 lb) It burned coal.  Had a big wire net to hold the corn. Rich
people used their fire place.  Still rich or poor most of the corn came
out burned.  If a micro wave oven could only be used to pop corn it
would be worth its weight in gold.  Eating pop corn means you won't get
colon cancer. pop corn in chocolate milk is good breakfast food.  I love
pop corn   Bert.

Which is why, though i love popcorn, i can't touch the
stuff.  And it only causes diverticulitis in someone who
has diverticulosis, as i do.

I also must steer clear of nuts, well, the edible kind,
anyway.  <g>

They get stuck in the diverticulae and enflame them.

(the nuts, not the Arabs)

Popcorn can do the same thing, Paine.

Catus Saul and Painius   Sorry to hear your guts can't digest popcorn.
It is a wonder food. People over weight should fill their stomach with
popcorn.I could not watch a movie without popcorn. Tastes good dipped in
honey. Who as a kid did not save up a nickel for Krack-a- Jacks and love
the prize.  Those were the best of times   Bert
