So you disagree that all actions have consequences. If so, science needs to back up about three centuries and ignore Newton's Third Law of Motion.
Oh, cut the crap. Scientific findings have limited fields of applicability. The first and most basic is the experimental evidence that underlies the "laws". If that turns out to be in error, the entire structure vanishes.

In physics in particular, evidence leads to equations. The truth is in those equations. They say what they say and the don't say more.

But Newton's third law only relates to PHYSICAL forces- -NOT psychological. If you think you can formulate and prove such a law in psychology, you are welcome to attempt. But basing it on a wildass extension of physics is BS.
