Isaac Newton, God bless him for all the amazing things that he did, thought that our world was simpler than it actually was. When that apple fell off the tree, he thought that it was gravity that was pulling it... Anyways, that was a good example of if not gravity, at least equal and opposite reaction stuff. The apple hit me and I moved away because the apple hit me in the head That's what my head did. Equal and opposite reaction! The energy had to go somewhere, and so it went into the apple. And if we drop this considerably damaged apple down into a bowl of water, the water would all fly up! That's a Newtonian reaction. That's a fluid behaving in a way that Isaac Newton would expect it to. But what if, instead of splashing in the water, t...
