Newtonian Physics

 Newton's First Law of Motion, the Law of Inertia, states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Noteable Quoteable

Some people think of God as an outsized, light skinned male with a long white beard, sitting on a throne somewhere up there in the sky. Baruch Spinoza and Albert Einstein considered God to be essentially the sum total of the physical laws which describe the universe. I do not know of any compelling evidence for anthropomorphic patriarchs controlling human destiny from some hidden celestial vantage point, but it would be madness to deny the existence of physical laws.

Object at Rest

 

 

 

Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia, states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Our Red Rocket is further evidence of the former; not the latter…

 

 

October Night Skies

The aurora borealis, AKA the northern lights are caused by solar activity that triggers magnetic storms.

Solar flares from activity on the surface of the sun and coronal mass ejections release electrically charged particles into space.

The solar wind carries these charged particles from the sun.

And when the particles are captured by the earth's magnetic field they collide with our atmosphere, heating-up the atoms and molecules which release energy in the form of photons, or light particles resulting in the aurora borealis.

And this happens.
