questioning_the_theory

Hi, I'm Gary, a 67 year old IT (Sun/unix) guy. Started out as an engineering tech, making the

stuff engineers designed work.

I refer to myself here as "questioning_the_theory" because I find myself questioning either

the premise, the phrasing, or the substance of many "chiseled in stone" facts.

I will try not to offend with my submissions.

PS: I'm a lousy speller and tend to forget to spell check.

I always thought that with Newton's understanding, he would have stated it more like

"an object's motion remains constant unless acted upon by some force." Since it seems

that it must have been clear to him that "everything" is in motion, there is nothing we

know of that is "at rest".
