OK. Now formulate that in EXACTLY the form of the laws of physics. Go ahead. Do it. Then send the results to Stockholm because they've got a nice prize waiting for you. Actually, I think this would be worth more than one. Probably bankrupt the Nobel Foundation.

Because this is the argument that Karma is trying to make. He is trying to misapply the laws of physics.

Let's use your example.
That set the stage for the declaration of war by Britain when Poland was invaded.
Well, as a first approximation, Newton's 3rd doesn't say some body OTHER THAN the one the force is applied to will react; it says the reaction will be by the one that is acted on.

But more fundamentally, Newton's 1st is also involved and can be expressed as F=ma. Now in the situation you describe, identify F, m, and a and then show there is a linear relationship between F and m and a.
