IT’S SO EASY to mock the New York Times that this little piece is hardly notable except for the important constitutional questions in the comments:

[1] Are those physics laws constitutional? And

[2] Newtonian physics was formulated more than 100 years ago. It was written in a language that few people can understand. It didn’t anticipate the realities of our times. We have to be willing to re-interpret Newtonian physics to make it relevant to the modern world.

If the Constitution is old, confusing, and should evolve, shouldn’t the Laws of Physics also?
