RE: [Fis] Laws of physics do NOT apply in biology

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,

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
