If, according to newton, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, how can anything move? If you tried to walk, you would be transfixed by the fowards motion and backwards reaction! But this is obviously wrong, because we can walk. But thousands of other scientists have done experiments proving Newton right! So what should we believe: scientific process, or personal experience?
