Mariel33 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 Are forces like gravity, electricity, atomic physics and motion the values of the political right? Quote
A-wal Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 Evolution is. It's what the free market is based on (not intentionally). Natural selection and survival of the fittest. Ironic that most dosy free market supporters don't believe in it because it upsets their fairytale based world view. Quote
exchemist Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 Are forces like gravity, electricity, atomic physics and motion the values of the political right?Of course not. None of the things you list is a "value". (In fact, only one of them, gravity, is a force.) Quote
A-wal Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 Actually sorry to be picky but according to gr you could argue (and this the official stance) that gravity is actually not a real force, I think it is. Electricity is a force, or at least one manifestation of it (electromagnetic). Atomic physics includes the the nuclear forces, especially the strong one. But technically non of what was listed is one of the forces (if you don't count gravity). Strong, weak and electromagnetic. Quote

There are electromagnetic forces (electrostatic and magnetic) but "electricity" is the stuff you get out of the wires in your living room. As for gravity, for most people and for most purposes it is a force and in fact is commonly referred to as one of the 4 forces in nature : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction. Sure in GR it is replaced by spacetime curvature and all that, but I don't think it helps in this discussion to go into all that. "Atomic physics" is a whole subject, of which the strong and weak force are just one element. The OP betrays woolly thinking and needs sorting out. Quote
A-wal Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 Electricity is a force, it's part of the electromagnetic force. Electricity and magnetism were considered separate forces until they were unified. A magnetic field can change into an electric field and vice versa if you change you frame of reference by accelerating. Quote
fahrquad Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 How do we report posts like this one? Seriously, "Are forces like gravity, electricity, atomic physics and motion the values of the political right?". Why condone idiotic questions like this? Quote
