The “law of gravity” is referred to as a description of the phenomena of apples falling from trees and airplanes falling from skies (unless they are overriding the “law of gravity” with the “law of jet propulsion”). Laws are human made contrivances, often overturned or broken. The phenomenon of gravity existed long before Newton named it a “law”. Morgan discusses this with some ...(read more)
