Correction: The language of Newton's Third Law that I proposed is not quite accurate. The following paragraph has been added:
Actually, to be precise, the 3rd Law should read: "When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously reflects it back with a reaction power that varies by its kinetic (if any), shape, size, weight, and "made-of" material of both parties."
A professor's story about his students' reaction when first encountering Newton's Third Law touched me and inspired me to keep on fighting for the truth.
He wrote: "During 1st and 2nd years of graduate school, grad students were required to spend a few hours per week in a large conference room to supply tutorial help for undergraduate students... the biggest issue by far was Newton's 3rd law. The most common question was "If the force and reaction force are equal and opposite, then how can there be any motion if the net force is always zero?"
This legit question and many others that came from the kids shouldn't be ignored. And "feeling the resistant power while pushing the chair" has never been a good enough answer (No doubt that "actions ask for re-actions" but always with equally re-acting force?)
The students do not only think intuitively, but also base their judgments on the knowledge and experiences that three hundred years ago, Newton never had. They have known about the life saving function of airbags, witnessed stuntmen safely landing on a huge pile of empty cardboard boxes after falling from the top of a building. Many had seen with their own eyes the event at the junkyard in which old cars being pressed into metal blocks without any chance to fight back the oppressing force with "equal reacting power". And they know that a bullet-proof vest (with special made-of material) can stop a bullet.
I wish that he and all the teachers, scientists, physicists in the world when confronted by these intelligent, curious children would stop and ask themselves: "HOW, WHERE and WHEN does the phenomenon of "the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal" can insert itself into that solid chain of events that turned an old car into a small block of metal, or bullet - meeting no body armor - easily proceeded through human body.
And: "Let's assume it's true that at the moment of impact 'the force acting on each other is exactly the same'... How long would this phenomenon last? Is it long enough for the airbag to collapse the driver's chest and the empty cardboard boxes to smash the stuntman's body?"
With these questions in mind, they will recognize that Newton's 3rd Law is impractical from a physical point of view, to say the least. And they would desist from forcing their students to laboriously swallow the defected product that was fabricated over three centuries ago.
