Honey, We No Longer Need to Shrink Raquel Welch

So much confusion is caused by the word “law”. At its simplest a law is a man-made rule that humans have to obey or suffer sanctions. Laws, in this sense, may be arrived at democratically or laid down by a leader and accepted by his subjects. The confusion begins when a set of observations of the natural world, such as how solid bodies behave in motion or at rest, are described, and this description becomes labeled as a law. Star Trek’s Scotty says, “You cannae change the laws of physics,” which suggests that these laws are … Read More → "Honey, We No Longer Need to Shrink Raquel Welch"
