Newton was wrong#* credited to F=ma7 'eonhard E(#ar s)ec(#ated F=ma
< 3 Which is *o(r $avorite #aw&
Isaac Newton: All the three laws of motion and law of gravitation are favorite.
But after my death the e!ond "aw Of #otion has $een !om%letely distorted.
&he law as given in the 'rin!i%ia is not taught.
<, =ow *o(r Second #aw o$ Motion is distorted&
Isaac Newton: &he way the e!ond "aw Of #otion is stated $y me at %age
num$er 1( of the 'rin!i%ia. &he statement of the law is
&he alteration of motion is ever %ro%ortional to the motive for!e im%ressed) and is
made in the dire!tion of the right line in whi!h that for!e is im%ressed.
F ma=m*v+u,-t
whereas as my law is taught as
.&he rate of !hange of momentum is %ro%ortional to the motive for!e im%ressed
and ta/es %la!e along straight line in whi!h for!e is im%ressed.0
F =/*v+u,

< + Sir7 now #aw is more com)rehensive than given 0* *o( in 3>4-.
Isaac Newton : Well if someone im%roves the law, : do not o$;e!t. But do not
atta!h or asso!iate any law with my name whi!h : have not given. &he e!ond
"aw of #otion as taught right from (th !lass, is not given $y me. &hen why it is it
is !alled <ewton0s e!ond law of #otion2
<2. What sho(#d 0e remed*& In some standard te?ts e.g. Stan$ord
Enc*c#o)edia o$ ;hi#oso)h* maintained 0* Stan$ord @niversit* @SA7 a#so
state that c(rrent $orm o$ Second 'aw :$ Motion F =ma% was not given 0*
Newton.
Isaac Newton: &hat is true. &he e=%erts of >n!y!lo%edia have studied and
understood the 'rin!i%ia thoroughly) it should $e 9uoted in all te=t$oo/s. &he
F=ma should $e 9uoted with name of s!ientist who a!tually dis!overed or
s%e!ulated it.
< 5 Who had given the Second 'aw o$ Motion F =ma7 which is associated
with *o(r name &
Isaac Newton : As long as : was alive till 1?1?, there was only my law as given
in the ;rinci)ia. &here are referen!es in the literature that in 1?@A wiss
mathemati!ian and s!ientist "eonhard >ular, gave F=ma-n, 1?B3 >ular %ut forth
e9uation F=1ma. :n 1?AB >ular, ar$itrarily divided right hand side of e9uation $y
1 thus o$tained F =ma. But it is %urely ar$itrarily ste%. :t is never ;ustified.
"i/ewise it is not ;ustified F =ma, was given $y me *<ewton,. Who asso!iated it
with my name, : don0t /now , it is wrong, a$solutely wrong.
<> So *o( acce)t that Swiss 'eonhard E(#ar derived F =ma not *o( Sir
Isaac Newton%. Wh* F =ma is associated with *o(& When *o( are
associated with this& This e8(ation was derived in 3-56 or 3->5% a$ter ,+
@
*ears o$ *o(r death&
Isaac Newton : You !annot as/ a de!eased %erson that what ha%%ened after his
death. <o$ody !an loo/ from the grave. u!h 9uestions are re%lied $y living
%ersons. o you have to answer this 9uestion why a law *e9uation, F=ma ,
whi!h is not given $y me *<ewton, is asso!iated with my name *<ewton,2 Why
a law *e9uation, F=ma, given $y "eonhard >ular is not asso!iated him2 :t is
strange that s!ientists are not raising the issues. !ien!e means truth, and
s!ientists are %ro%onents of the truth. But they are tea!hing in!orre!t ideas to
!hildren *u%!oming s!ientists, in s!hools -!olleges et!. Con0t start s!ien!e in the

In the Third 'aw o$ Motion..action and reaction are not A'WAGS
e8(a# and o))osite.

< 33 Sir7 we have sensitive 8(estion a0o(t the Third 'aw o$ Motion as
given in the ;rinci)ia at )age 31. The #aw states that .
C &o every a!tion there is always an e9ual and o%%osite rea!tion.0
Whi!h %hysi!al 9uantities re%resent a!tion and rea!tions, it is not defined.
Isaac Newton: You are right. What do you want to say a$out it2
411 Did *o( cond(ct an* test even at macrosco)ic #eve# % whi#e stating
the third #aw o$ motion&
Isaac Newton: Ges7 I have mentioned in the ;rinci)ia at )age 31. =ave *o(
an* do(0t&
<3+ Ges 7 Sir Isaac Newton 7 I have do(0t 7 in$act m* name sho(#d 0e do(0t.
Go( have not disc(ssed the stri!ing and re0o(nding o$ vario(s 0a##s
r(00er7 c#oth7 or wooden% on the wa##.
Isaac Newton : Do(0t is $irst ste) o$ discover& E?)#ain.
< 32 =ere ver* sim)#e 8(estion is that *o(r Third 'aw Motion does not
ta!e in acco(nt the characteristics or distinctiveness7 e#asticit* or
$#e?i0i#it* % o$ 0od*. It sim)#* states a Cword" action7 now action in case o$
Cr(00er 0a##"7 Cc#oth 0a##" Cs)onge 0a##" etc can 0e same. D(t their reactions
on the wa## are not the same. So to ever* action 7 there is reaction 0(t ma*
not 0e e8(a# A'WAGS .
Isaac Newton : You are right !hara!teristi!s of different $odies are different . :t
a%%ears interesting, : did not dis!uss it in my law. Ean you ela$orate it further2
A
<.35 Go(r #aw does not ta!en in acco(nt the characteristics o$ 0od* in
acco(nt. It is its #imitation.
Isaac Newton : But it has to su%%orted e=%erimentally.
<. 3> It can 0e easi#* done. Honsider three 0a##s o$ r(00er or air $i##ed7
c#oth and s)onge. A## the 0a##s have same mass and thrown with same
$orce on the on the wa## which is at distance o$ 36 $eet. Now a## the 0a##s
have same Caction".
Isaac Newton: :I . What do *o( want to sa* $(rther&
<.3- E?)erimenta##* we $ind that the r(00er or air $i##ed 0a##7 ret(rns to
origina# )osition trave#ing 0ac! 36 $eet% a$ter re0o(nding the wa##. Th(s in
action trave#ing o$ 0a## to 36 $eet% and reaction7 the re0o(nding o$ 0a## to
36 $eet% are e8(a# and o))osite in this case.
D(t in case o$ c#oth 0a## it re0o(nds to distance o$ 5 $eet on#*7 the
s)onge 0a## re0o(nds to distance o$ 3 $oot on#*. Each sho(#d have
re0o(nded to distance o$ 36 $eet #i!e r(00er 0a##%. So in s(ch cases the
action and reaction are not e8(a#.
Th(s *o(r #aw is not tr(e in a## cases. It needs to 0e genera#i.ed.
Issac Newton: : have $ro/en i!e $y triggering $eginning of %hysi!s-s!ien!e.
Before this there was no systemati! study of s!ien!e. : never !laimed my laws
are a$solute, these were the $est when : gave them. 'eo%le a!!e%ted them for
!enturies.. : did not im%ose my laws of %eo%le, they a!!e%ted it. :f at any time you
find new fa!ts, in!or%orate them in my law logi!ally. :t would $e the $est tri$ute
to me.
After it would $e /nown as <ewton0s DeneraliIed &hird law of motion.
ome of my e9uations *e.g. e9uation of velo!ity of sound in media, , theories
*Eor%us!ular theory of light, have $een modified. o it s!ien!e, it is 9uest for
truth. <o %ro$lem, : am not Dod who is %erfe!t, : am human $eing. !ien!e is
lighting one lam% from other.

should not draw !on!lusions only on the $asis of o$servations of mer!ury
