It never caught on because it is insignificant and picking of nits. Bodies in motion will tend to remain in motion without change unless influenced by an outside force. That may even be the medium they pass through. The interpretation changes nothing.

if Newton used math then yes...he was a racis’. all math is racis’! all except the math that proves that an X chromosome and a Y chromosome can be combined in an infinite number of ways. that math isn’t racis’.

ah...the same difference without defining which difference is the same. remember saying to my dad “it’s the same difference”. his response...”define WHICH difference is the same”. never ever said it again. he had a gift for making people explain themselves with pointed questions that popped a lot of bubbles.

Yes. There is no perfect vacuum. At the least there are hydrogen atoms to collide with.

Another semantics pothole is the difference between “use” and “utilize”.

I hear the talking heads for football talk about “utilizing a WR in the passing game”. Uhm, no, that’s how the WR’s are to be used.

The definition in this case for “utilize” is to have a WR doing something that is not expected or normal for their position. Maybe throwing a pass, or blocking a DE = which is not a normal function of the position.

Basically, you “use” a butter knife to spread mayo/butter/mustard, whatever on bread.

But you “utilize” a butter knife to tighten a flat head screw.

You’re still using the butter knife, but not necessarily in the manner it was designed.

Absurdity...
The same type of moronic intellect that gave us the hockey stick intro to EOD climate panic...

Of course. Government bureaucrats and democrats, especially, can wave their magic pens and create new physics and ignore other physical laws.

Maybe you’re thinking of the piece on Euclid’s ‘fifth’...

What it actually says is that men can be pregnant.

Einstein’s theory of General Relativity modified Newton’s. The orbit of Mercury drifted slightly from Newton’s prediction. For many years astronomers predicted an inner planet , Vulcan , to explain it. Years of fruitless effort were spent trying to find it.

When Einstein did the math using his theory its prediction matched up with the orbit of Mercury as recorded. Later on the bending of light by the sun confirmed by an eclipse confirmed Einstein once again.

I thought the fifth was Beethoven’s.

I like to ask pro KJV advocates what Bible version did the disciplines use.

I get a lot of evasive answers including them asking me what version I use.
