Week 8, Newton's Law

I think of Newton's Laws as ways of describing what we now consider pretty straight-forward truths. Even though not all parts of his laws are obvious, they are pretty easy to understand and explain to someone who has never heard them before because we see most of Newton's Laws in action everyday. For me, the most interesting part of this week's class was to see how much physics and philosophy have changed through out time, both being affected and affecting the society and culture around them.
