That certainly is a useful simplification. Oops, my mistake. Please answer the same questions as if I had typed it right-- Please explain why Newton chose F = m1 * m2 * g / d^2, when F = m1^1.0000000032 * m2^0.999999999982 * (g-0.00000000000016) / d^2.000000000013 would have fit the available data just as well. And if you're going to put it off to Kepler's law, which is the basis for Newton's law, then why did Kepler get something so simple, like Period = k * radius^1.5? Why didn't he say Period = k * radius^1.50000000000038? After all, if needless complexification is the norm in science, then he shouldn't have come up with anything so simple. Or are you being deliberately obtuse to cling to an untenable position? Eric Lucas

The entire device as well as the foam can build a charge that is NOT equipotentiall with ground, so when one goes to use the device, an event occurs. Got clue? Oh, and foam is NOT a highly conductive media, so "all the pins are effectively shorted together" is not true. Not only that, but an event can STILL occur, even on a shorted pin device. All that is required is for one single pn junction to get blown for the whole chip to be a different circuit than it originally was. ESD has a way of finding its own pathways, even between sets of supposedly "shorted pins".

I'm not the one who swore there was no "2" in Newton's law of gravitation, as you did in the part you snipped. My answer remains, 2 is fundamentally correct, and Newton did not determine it experimentally. Occam's Razor is folklore. It is unproven, proves nothing, cannot separate good theories from incorrect ones and, if trusted, shuts off thought. In mathematics, only formal proof validates a theorem; in physics, only experiment. Being simple isn't enough. John
