I like that answer.

That is a classic Feynman-like answer. Read what he had to say about his conversations (as a child) about why a ball rolls to the back of a wagon when you pull the wagon forward. What is inertia and why does it work the way it does?Vagn said:I like that answer.

I don't know, I remember it sounds like Cyc**l**m. Good to know it's you though. Edit: Haha! Hello Cyclovenom.Pyrrhus said:Perhaps, because it was posted by me :rofl:.
For what's his name, here's the clue: it flows through an ouroboros.

But then it became clear to me that academic physicists have already abandoned their interest to the laws of nature, and that they have reduced physics into a mere religion. Physics now used as a tool to manage social hierarchy inside academic institutions (like other religions are in other organizations). So I'm not really interested in physics anymore.
