I have to hand it to you, Daws; of the lengths OCTers have gone to justify holding on to their ridiculous story-lines, your copied-and-pasted crap has now officially taken the cake as the longest I've seen to date!
Newton's Third Law can fail in a number of cases: ...
First of all, that statement is, at best, horribly misleading.
This, for instance:
- There is a time delay in the equations of motion, such as is the case for electrodynamics (as opposed to electrostatics). What is happening here is that the field that mediates the interaction is itself storing momentum. There is no room for such in Newton's 3rd. As mentioned before, this can be reconciled by observing that momentum is still conserved. Newton's 3rd law is conservation of momentum in the special case that forces are instantaneous and central in nature.
...doesn't exemplify a "fail[ure]" of Newton's Third Law; it describes a measurable absorption effect of a momentum-storing field, the measurement of which can and should be considered
part of the 'equal-yet-opposite' reaction' in question.
So, tell me, Daws, what do you believe acted as such a mediating field on 9/11/01; and why do you think it wasn't mentioned in any of the NIST group's official reports?
- The force is not central in nature, which once again is the case for electrodynamics. In the strong form of Newton's third law, third law force pairs must be equal but opposite in nature and the force must be directed along or against the line connecting the pair of particle. This form of Newton's third law conserves both translational and angular momentum. Translational and angular momentum can still be conserved in the case of non-central forces if the mediating field stores these momenta, but Newton's third does not apply in such cases.
Again, yes it does, exactly as I stated above. Even in electrodynamics (which, BTW, doesn't seem particularly relevant to building 7's
collapse), neither the measurable absorption rate of a non-central force's mediating field nor the mitigating effects of that force's characteristic non-centrality should be separated from the 'equal-yet-opposite' equation. The fact that certain electrodynamic interactions don't
appear to promulgate equitable reactions ...can always be explained in terms of the measurable physical circumstances that mitigated those
appearances,
without ever violating the third law of motion.
I
am curious, though; what type of non-central force do you think was at play in promulgating the
apparent violation of Newton's Law on 9/11; and why do you believe the NIST report on WTC7 failed to mention it?
- The underlying interaction inherently involves three or more particles. Newton's third demands that forces be resolvable down to pairs of particles. There are some multi-body interactions in quantum mechanics where the interactions only appears when three or more particles are present. These interactions cannot be isolated down to pairs, and once again Newton's third law fails.
Notice the disingenuous failure to mention the types of particles involved in those multi-body interactions, the natures of which (much like those of interacting non-central forces in electrodynamics), may well explain the appearance of non-equitable reactions observed
in that still highly theoretical branch of physics otherwise known as QM.
In more advanced physics, it is the conservation laws that reign supreme. Newton's third law derives from the conservation laws with the assumption that forces act in pairs, act instantaneously, and act along the line connecting particle pairs. [...][empasis Capstone's]
Bullshit!
Newton's laws derive from conservation laws, including those that regulate the forces and fields that sometimes mitigate the appearance of reactive equability.
But tell me, Daws; theoretically speaking here, what novel thing do you imagine happened at the subatomic level on 9/11/01 that resulted in the apparent violation of the third; and why do you feel it was missed by the government's science lackeys at NIST?
there are no examples of newton's third law being violated by explosives
No shit?!
It's never been violated during a fire-induced, progressive collapse either, despite what the NIST report would apparently have us believe.
