Hi Karl,
 
The answer is NO, but then this also applies to many other objects, such as stars and tornadoes. All dissipative systems churn non-linearly, so I guess you would argue that the laws of Newton generally don't apply to dissipative systems as wholes. I wouldn't argue with that; however I refered to the laws of physics, rather than the laws of Newton, which I meant to include far-from-equilibrium thermodynamic systems, like "biologic bodies".
 
Regards,
 
Guy Hoelzer

Hi Guy A Hoelzer,

the laws of Newton do not apply in biology. Or, have you ever seen a biologic body that remains in an idle state or keeps its linear movement forward?

Karl
