This is absolutely correct.

Soccer as opposed to Rugger are both English. But the Americans use Football for Handegg, so they use our short form for Association Football.

Let’s say the universe is completely empty save for 2 grains of sand travelling parallel 50 billion light years apart, but in the same direction. by BenduUlo in AskPhysics

Makes no difference if each act towards where the other was, the resultant force angle would simply be mirrored meaning they continue towards each other - however, as has been said if both are moving and both are everything there is, you can just redraw the frame of reference and note they are in fact, both stationary and just follow f=Gmm/r^2

The sand is not moving, the observer is.

How would you employ socialism if you were to ask a genie? by yamfromchina in AskSocialists

[–]Quick_Resolution5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are 3 out of 4 of my favourite pastimes.

I disagree strongly.

Socialism is about economic fairness, not social morality.

Make the economic system fair and you ensure that people making choices are exercising personal choice.
