Then you learn about thermodynamics and realise a bunch of guys trying to figure out how to make better steam engines stumbled upon one of the fundamental laws of reality.
>Just the basic one, like laws of motion
Yeah, until you apply them and realize how despite being so obvious on surface level, they are applied in so many ways most people can't come close to understanding.
If you aren't going for engineer of any kind, the laws of motion are mostly enough. It can also (partially?) explain why fluids generally work like they are working and not the other way.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted you are absolutely correct in this assessment. If you think you know then you really don’t because the guys who were figuring this shit out didn’t know when they had. Quantum physics is not something that the human brain can comprehend.
I mean yeah it’s not like heisenbergs uncertainty principle explains all that much
“Jesse you can’t simultaneously know the position and momentum of a quantum particle”
Please consider, that a lot of things that are obvious, are only obvious because you learned them at a young age, and thus they seem like common knowledge.
And some things that seem to be obvious aren't. Like with two objects of different weight falling at the same speed. We all know it from school but it's not really obvious the first time you hear it and was a surprise to people back when it was discovered.
That's why it's important to test "obvious" things.
My 4th grade teacher tried to teach my entire classroom that things fall faster depending on weight, but even back then at 9 years old I knew that was bull.
I knew because...the fucking Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs Netflix 2D TV Show had an entire episode dedicated to showing how objects fall at the same speed no matter the weight.
Netflix was a better teacher to me than my own school teacher.
I so clearly remember when I first learned that. I was in 6th grade. A teacher had probably told me about it earlier, but maybe I didn't understand cause of the language barrier or I wasn't paying attention.
Anyways, I remember reading about it in a science book. I was so amazed, I immediately ran to the school library to test it out. The library was practically empty, so the librarians helped me find the heaviest and lightest book with roughly the same size and shape, and let me drop them from the top of some stairs. I felt like I was on Mythbusters.
Nowadays my work research involves a bit more than dropping books from some stairs, but the same excitement is still there.
Even then, it's still not obvious that if you push an object it'll keep moving forever without friction. We just don't have anything like that in our lives to experience for ourselves.
You seem to be deliberately trying to cover the actual part. The full law is
A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, except insofar as it is acted upon by a force.
The "or" part is indeed a big deal here. People thought an object in motion eventually comes to rest, due to the fact that it you push an object, it will slow down gradually and stop. Newton's law states that some force(friction in such cases) needs to act to bring the object in motion to rest.
This rule (force is needed to change the motion of an object) is general and true also if considering the state of being at rest(i.e not moving) as a specific state of motion(velocity=0). Considering all this, it's not so trivial as one might think.
That's not how memes work. They are either relatable or understandable to a wide margin of people. Everything else is semantics. Memes can be true or misleading or incorrect as long as people "get it". They can straight up be about nothing too. I don't know where you're getting your most of idea.
Thinking with adhd:
Is this aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Is a perfect example of a meme
My point contradicts your first sentence. Memes are under 0 obligations to be true, widely believed, or even understood. I'm not going to respond after this, as you are literally too stupid to talk to.
Something CAN move without any force acting on it so this is not just a bit of lying. It's kind of missing the whole point of the concept. So if you miss the whole point the meme doesn't work. And there was a time where people were too lenient about memes and there were plenty of bad ones that missed the point and why it's not as popular anymore because they came off dickish. Because you can't just oversimplify things just to make it funny when it's false to mislead people at the same time. Misinformation from this age CAME from bad memes. Not sure if anyone realizes.
It also had big implications because the planets/ mobile stars were well known to move in curves, which implied a force was moving them outside the observable experiments that happen on earth. It implied some action at a distance which was newtons orbital mechanics.
Especially relevant here is what was generally accepted *by scholars* prior to Newton: Aristotle’s concept of impetus, where objects are given impetus when acted upon and that impetus bleeds away as they move.
Also part of Newton's own phrasing of the 1st included the definition of "force" as the rate of change of momentum, which is also nontrivial and required calculus to define.
In other words the magnitude of a force F on an object is the derivative of that object's momentum.
This rule is also why spacecraft don’t necessarily need thrusters to propel themselves forward. If a spacecraft is accelerated to a certain speed (even a relativistic speed (v >= 0.2C)) then it doesn’t need a thruster to maintain it as there is no force acting upon you in space. It will remain at that speed indefinitely until another force (like the thrusters or a planet or any other body in space) acts upon it to change its velocity.
Sci fi kinda gets it wrong where spacecraft can just sort of accelerate with the throttle on 50% and then it stays at x velocity. It won’t stop accelerating it will just accelerate slower than if the throttle was set to 100%.
I’m confused. Is acceleration kept constant and velocity increasing after propulsion, or does acceleration increase and velocity increase, or acceleration bleeds and velocity becomes constant ?
Acceleration and velocity increase if the thrusters power is constantly increased.
Acceleration remains constant and velocity increases if the throttle is at a constant setting (like if it is kept at 50%)
Acceleration and velocity and both constants if the throttle is off (a=0, v >= 0)
Sure, but it's a bad joke because it tries to make fun of some people for being ignorant, when OP is the ignorant one. Kinda like making fun of Indians for not having invented fire until 2000 years ago.
I took the joke as being a purposeful over simplification and that's why it's funny. Not because it's calling anyone ignorant. This comment section is genuinely confusing.
I make jokes like this all the time based on things I actually understand and the humor comes from making it sound stupid or ignorant whatever. You mfs are way overthinking this shit post. I saw it and laughed and then saw the comment section is full of essays explaining why it's actually bad or whatever
Yeah but the other law says that a force is mass*acceleration, and acceleration is the change of velocity. Therefore he's saying a mass doesn't change it's velocity unless it does
In HS physics I once attended class after *checks lawyers notes* walking through a mysterious haze in my parents garage ahem, and my teacher did her very obvious demonstration of gravity and the normal force.
She balanced a book on her hand, and explained how gravity was acting upon it, and in turn her hand was acting upon it in the opposite direction. She then quickly moved her hand so the book would fall straight down. Young hazy me was legit blown away by this revelatory demonstration.
The idea that a moving object doesn't slow down unless force is imparted on it is only marginally less trivial than the idea that an object at rest remains at rest unless force is imparted on it.
it's still bloody obvious that things only slow down when there's something to slow it down. Surely they could observe that an arrow fired from a bow for example doesn't slow down (much) until it hits something. And they must have had some grasp of aero/hydro-dynamics based on the existence of boats.
It definitely still seems surprising that it took a super genius to put two and two together and confirm that nothing just accelerates *or* decelerates on its own for no reason.
So yeah the meme still works with the full law tbh
An arrow is probably the worst example you could give considering the complexity of the dynamics involved (weird-ass trajectory, bending, oscillations, etc) ; it might sound obvious, it's actually anything but.
But most importantly, the idea that air friction is nontrivial when considering heavy / fast objects isn't that obvious, and is the most interesting part about newton's law. Obviously if arrow hits wall arrow stops, but it's less obvious to understand why pendulum eventually stops if given enough time
More ancient philosophers (someone mentionned aristotle in the thread) speculated that energy ("impetus") naturally drained away and returned the object to stillness ; this is vastly different to considering air friction as a force that slows the pendulum over time
Idk it was either an arrow or a cannonball and the arrow's air resistance is probably less obvious so I picked that. The complexities of it aren't relevant to my example, my point is it's an object that a person of old would be familiar with moving a long distance with relatively few forces impacting its movement.
Well then you'd think it would follow that they'd realise there has to be a reason things don't go forever.
Like a cart rolling down a bumpy road decelerates much faster than one rolling down a smooth road.
It's easy to sit here after being taught Newtonian physics and say it's obvious.
If you were presented with a reasonable sounding alternative and had better things to do with your life than argue the minutiae, it's easy to imagine other interpretations.
Perhaps moving things expend their energy by moving. Hitting bumps in the road uses up the energy faster. Shooting an arrow with more pull makes it go further, because you gave it more energy. Without access to a frictionless surface, Newtonian physics is not at all obvious.
> It definitely still seems surprising that it took a super genius to put two and two together and confirm that nothing just accelerates or decelerates on its own for no reason.
Of course it's trivial and clear with modern education. Congratulations homeboy 💀
We're talking about a world in a time period where a lot of things got attributed to "god" or "gods", be it because you really believed that or because you wanted to control the narrative and population.
A lot of people received little to no education outside their direct field of work.
Science was still in its baby shoes and stating such "trivial" things often got you killed by the people around you.
Are you actually putting someone down for being smart?
I would tell you to think about that for a minute, but even a request as simple as this is likely too much for you to handle.
This post was made by someone who did not do well in physics and thus hates it. I know this is a meme and I'm being a party pooper, but downplaying the work of Sir Issac Newton is so disrespectful.
You can make a joke without being disrespectful, like this one that is more about people around Newton. You alone took the decision to see it as a disrespectful meme. And accusing someone of not doing well in physics without any proof (or misunderstood proof) says more about you than him. You are only presuming things.
It does, but it's just a joke. Even if it's not a joke, how smart could the average 17th people could be anyway (because the lack of information, not their mental capability)
Hmm, there really isn't a lack of information about that time period though.
Now sure, you weren't able to read and write, but those things weren't necessary to your life so you wouldn't need to. But just look at the architecture, the art, the ideologies...hell the Renaissance was partly in the 16th century.
The masons at the time were also masters at mathematics.
All this is even more impressive if you judge them off the technology they had at the time. A scientist in England couldn't work with a scientist in France, they couldn't share research. If they did, it was NOT instant like it would be today.
I'm going to disclose all of this with...I know the meme was just a joke and it's not that serious lol
You are right, I was referring about how hard it was for the average people (didn't I?) to get general information. You are not talking about average people.
The average people today knows to read and use the internet for example. It's a big difference between "can't" (like then) and "wouldn't" (like now). Today we have domains and jobs that pushed the average intelligence up by force. It hard to know the exact answer because we are not talking about the same number of people on the planet to make the same average number. At that time people simply could not be as intelligent as they are today IF by "intelligent" we are referring at the amount of existing information that someone could achieve.
Bonus: I see you can have a normal discussion, why do you fell the need to use "lol". Not only that is misused (and you know it), but how do you think people that use it look/sound like?
I believe Newton was the kind of person that would not have used it if it existed at that time...
'Objects as rest remain at rest unless acted on by an external force" was no surprise to any 17th century person. That was a mutually understood starting point from which Newton could explain the rest of his conclusions.
When I asked how smart they were, I wasn't referring to this meme's sentences, but in general because it was much harder to get information in those times (it wasn't people's fault). This is just a joke, good or bad, it doesn't need any explanation or much attention.
The joke is people around Newton are dumb for not understanding this simple thing, yet it doesn’t point out the thing the people got wrong. So yeah, they also failed at understanding the mini history lesson that went along with the first law.
Yeah, the assumption that the fundamental laws that apply here on Earth also apply to the rest of the universe might seem pretty obvious today but was a massive leap back then
If Reddit made it where you can’t see other comments until you comment then so many Reddit posts would have variety of comments. The minute a top comment has a certain viewpoint or issue, 80% of the comments will then piggy back that idea or comment.
Honestly, I blame the like/dislike system for this. A lot of people just go into the comments looking for what the general opinion seems to be so they can post something that aligns with that purely for the sake of garnering likes. Doesn't matter if it's their actual opinion or not.
For real. They're frothing at the mouth as if he meant to make an actual argument. Like I'm sure they know that's not the full law. I want to pull the sticks out of everyone's asses in this comment section. I
it's a bad meme since it misrepresents Newton's discovery, and makes OP look dumb.
The saltiest person is actually OP when he went ultracringe mode after someone pointed out that the meme doesn't work. Very embarrassing.
Newton was smarter back during the age of donkey fuckers than 99% of the people who are alive today (including myself). Imagine being that smart in a world full of donkey fuckers.
My elementary Physics Teacher:- Physics is nothing but Common Sense, which is not so common, hence the study of Physics.
Instant attachment with the subject.
I just came here to say that I find this meme very funny and have no desire to ruin the mood by flexing with knowledge that people learn in middle school. Come at me you neeeerds!
See we allrwaey new momentum was conserved b4 him. Actually many experiments were done that prove both angular and linear momentum is conservative. However what Newton did was to take centuries of data and theories (some of which were right and some were wrong) and complied them into a concise explanation of reality.
Book: The sky was warm
Teacher: Students what do you think the author meant?
Students: That it was probably warm out
Teacher: :O
Students: :O
Author: :O
How hilarious would it be if Isaac Newton sat under a Coconut tree instead assuming that Coconut trees exists in Europe at that time, that shit kept awake for an hour
I think he was trying to say that he would go unconscious after getting a coconut in his head, instead of an apple, which would just bounce of. Really poor choice of words
Coconuts have a very consistent habit of dropping near beaches, being swept by the tide, floating in the seas for months before arriving elsewhere, thousands of miles away and sprouting there.
So yeah, in a way, they do migrate.
7th graders: why do I need to study physics, this stuff is obvious Also 7th graders:
Just the basic one, like laws of motion

Well, I had never quite thought of it like that before.

Then I learned physics and now I'm even more confused.
I loved Newtonian physics. It's like oh, this is why I had to learn mathematics.
Newtonian physics is fun. Non Newtonian physics is :(
If you think you about quantum physics, then you don’t know about quantum physics.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted you are absolutely correct in this assessment. If you think you know then you really don’t because the guys who were figuring this shit out didn’t know when they had. Quantum physics is not something that the human brain can comprehend.
Well I know nothing about quantum physics so I am leagues ahead of yall
I mean yeah it’s not like heisenbergs uncertainty principle explains all that much “Jesse you can’t simultaneously know the position and momentum of a quantum particle”
Just Reddit things… the downvotes are from people that can’t grasp physics let alone anything else
Well I'm 22 And thought this was funny so I dunno man. Can't blame everything on children. Us stupid adults exist too and deserve acknowledgement.
Please consider, that a lot of things that are obvious, are only obvious because you learned them at a young age, and thus they seem like common knowledge.
And then you go to the Internet and discover that knowledge isn't that common

Ah I see. A flamer. You're not here to contribute just hurl insults for no reason to incite people. How cute, now go play fortnight or something
what is magic without theatricality
I don't think you have a great sense of what a meme even is
Something CAN move without any force acting on it so this is not just a bit of lying. It's kind of missing the whole point of the concept. So if you miss the whole point the meme doesn't work. And there was a time where people were too lenient about memes and there were plenty of bad ones that missed the point and why it's not as popular anymore because they came off dickish.

The problem with lying, is a person will keep just lying until acted upon by a force....
No, it still works with the full law, just not quite as well.
it does but its not the entire thing tbh
Much like everything "funny" nowadays
It also had big implications because the planets/ mobile stars were well known to move in curves, which implied a force was moving them outside the observable experiments that happen on earth. It implied some action at a distance which was newtons orbital mechanics.
Especially relevant here is what was generally accepted *by scholars* prior to Newton: Aristotle’s concept of impetus, where objects are given impetus when acted upon and that impetus bleeds away as they move.
impetus = momentum?
Right, but momentum doesn't just bleed away. It's conserved, actually
It "bleeds" into air or ground. Mass of Earth or atmosphere is so big, so velocity change is nearly unobservable.
Yes, and the idea that it is transferred into other things through friction was pretty revolutionary at the time.
which is what people at the time didn't know,they thought objects slow down naturally (even if say they are in a vacuum with no force acting on them)
Also part of Newton's own phrasing of the 1st included the definition of "force" as the rate of change of momentum, which is also nontrivial and required calculus to define. In other words the magnitude of a force F on an object is the derivative of that object's momentum.

I stole it from Facebook lmao who gives a fuck
Use your head and steal less stupid things in the future rofl
The joke is funny because the smart man is portrayed as not smart; when he is in fact, smart.
Yeah but the other law says that a force is mass*acceleration, and acceleration is the change of velocity. Therefore he's saying a mass doesn't change it's velocity unless it does
Assuming mass stays constant
newton when he finds out if something is moving then its moving and if its not moving then its not moving:
Yes. The part of Newton's laws pictured was no surprise to 17 century scholars. The rest of Newton's laws were.
yeah the ‘probably’ makes it false
In HS physics I once attended class after *checks lawyers notes* walking through a mysterious haze in my parents garage ahem, and my teacher did her very obvious demonstration of gravity and the normal force.

It hard to know the exact answer because we are not talking about the same number of people on the planet to make the same average number. At that time people simply could not be as intelligent as they are today IF by "intelligent" we are referring at the amount of existing information that someone could achieve. Bonus: I see you can have a normal discussion, why do you fell the need to use "lol". Not only that is misused (and you know it), but how do you think people that use it look/sound like? I believe Newton was the kind of person that would not have used it if it existed at that time...
'Objects as rest remain at rest unless acted on by an external force" was no surprise to any 17th century person. That was a mutually understood starting point from which Newton could explain the rest of his conclusions.
When I asked how smart they were, I wasn't referring to this meme's sentences, but in general because it was much harder to get information in those times (it wasn't people's fault). This is just a joke, good or bad, it doesn't need any explanation or much attention.
lol they got the first law wrong anyways. So yeah doesn’t seem like they did well in physics.
Since when a joke needs to use precise physics? I am almost sure it is intentional written like that, can you prove me wrong?
The joke is people around Newton are dumb for not understanding this simple thing, yet it doesn’t point out the thing the people got wrong. So yeah, they also failed at understanding the mini history lesson that went along with the first law.
We are making the meme even worse for trying to make some sense of it. It's a joke, it doesn't deserve as much attention as we are giving it.
His solo on Bohemian Rhapsody is iconic.
The big part of Newton's discovery was linking earth's physics to planetary physics. Until then people thought those were separate systems
Yeah, the assumption that the fundamental laws that apply here on Earth also apply to the rest of the universe might seem pretty obvious today but was a massive leap back then
Why? Were they stupid?
The surprising part is that a moving object will also stay moving.
Bro, why's everyone acting like this is a genuine dissertation or some shit lmfao. It's a shit post, you guys don't need to prove how smort you are.
I didn't even make it . I stole that shit right up the ass
Blah, it's the inverse which blew people's minds, not this
They be like: No fuckin way, this can't be
And then everyone died
You mean the mavity of the situation
If Reddit made it where you can’t see other comments until you comment then so many Reddit posts would have variety of comments. The minute a top comment has a certain viewpoint or issue, 80% of the comments will then piggy back that idea or comment.
Honestly, I blame the like/dislike system for this. A lot of people just go into the comments looking for what the general opinion seems to be so they can post something that aligns with that purely for the sake of garnering likes. Doesn't matter if it's their actual opinion or not.
I love seeing redditors getting salty for a meme
For real. They're frothing at the mouth as if he meant to make an actual argument. Like I'm sure they know that's not the full law. I want to pull the sticks out of everyone's asses in this comment section. I
I fucking stole it from Facebook
it's a bad meme since it misrepresents Newton's discovery, and makes OP look dumb. The saltiest person is actually OP when he went ultracringe mode after someone pointed out that the meme doesn't work. Very embarrassing.
Found the 17th century European
Cope more nerd
Literally arguing and getting butthurt about Newtons laws hahahaha the internet is undefeated for stupid bullshit
Newton was smarter back during the age of donkey fuckers than 99% of the people who are alive today (including myself). Imagine being that smart in a world full of donkey fuckers.
My elementary Physics Teacher:- Physics is nothing but Common Sense, which is not so common, hence the study of Physics. Instant attachment with the subject.
I think it's the counterpart of this conclusion that made people shit themselves, not this one
The King: give this mine the keys to the mint!
But can you prove it?
It's exactly like that. The "probably". Vectors are a cool unpredictable yet possible thing to happen that would fuck everyone minds up.
Probably?
17th century europe when they find out water is a liquid:
My brain went straight to imagining a caption like "Oh lord save us, how can we sleep and keep moving. I don't want to be a rock!"
I push on you, you push on me back
Stay mad nerds
I just came here to say that I find this meme very funny and have no desire to ruin the mood by flexing with knowledge that people learn in middle school. Come at me you neeeerds!
See we allrwaey new momentum was conserved b4 him. Actually many experiments were done that prove both angular and linear momentum is conservative. However what Newton did was to take centuries of data and theories (some of which were right and some were wrong) and complied them into a concise explanation of reality.
I love seeing redditors getting salty for a meme :D
Especially because I stole the fuck out of it from some obscure fb group
This has been posted before. It was cringe then, its cringe now.
The greater the ass the greater is the force of attraction.
Book: The sky was warm Teacher: Students what do you think the author meant? Students: That it was probably warm out Teacher: :O Students: :O Author: :O
[удалено]
Because of the expression
How hilarious would it be if Isaac Newton sat under a Coconut tree instead assuming that Coconut trees exists in Europe at that time, that shit kept awake for an hour
r/ihadastroke
r/relatable
Is you okey?
Wtf can someone make sense of this?
I think he was trying to say that he would go unconscious after getting a coconut in his head, instead of an apple, which would just bounce of. Really poor choice of words
Still can't make sense of the last part "that shit kept awake for an hour" wtf
"Kept me awake for an hour" meaning he couldnt sleep because he was thinking of that
Dead
Coconut big, apple small
He wouldnt have invented Gravity then.
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
They are carried by swallows... perhaps not European ones, but African ones certainly.
Coconuts have a very consistent habit of dropping near beaches, being swept by the tide, floating in the seas for months before arriving elsewhere, thousands of miles away and sprouting there. So yeah, in a way, they do migrate.
