Knowing the velocity of the gas, which was calculated to be about 1.2 million miles per hour, Kirshner says simple Newtonian physics was used to compute the mass necessary to provide sufficient gravity to keep the disk of gases from flying apart...
...world order, Nye said, will not bring multipolarity, unipolarity or a return to bipolarity. Instead, he said, it will look like a layered cake in which "old concepts of mechanical polarities and Newtonian physics no longer exist...
Like Leonardo, Michael Jordan is now his own greatest competition. When you make the miraculous routine, the merely superb becomes ordinary. Audiences feel cheated unless Jordan pulls off one of those twisting, soaring dunks that are living proof of post-Newtonian physics. Now that he has won an N.B.A. championship, he doesn't really have anything left to prove -- except, of course, that he can do it again...
...Some fear that Newtonian physics governs superpower relations: What goes up must come down. They warn that our countries' interaction has in the past been prone to wild swings between euphoria and depression, cooperation and conflict, thaw and chill. Do you see any such danger? How can we avoid such cycles? How can the recent progress be made permanent...
Nonetheless, three out of four members of the National Association of Business Economists predict that an old-fashioned recession will begin before the end of 1989. They believe the economy will eventually obey that basic law of Newtonian physics: what goes up must come down...
