No-way physics
Critical Point: July 2007
Some principles of physics – including the first two laws of
thermodynamics – seem to invite rebellion. Robert P Crease wonders why
Many principles of physics are of the form "If you do this, what will
happen is that." Newton's second law, for example, says that the
acceleration of a particular mass will be proportional to the force
applied to it. Such principles imply that certain effects are
practically impossible. A small number of principles, however, belong
to a different category. These say, in effect, "That cannot happen."
Such principles imply that certain effects are physically impossible.
