ok i understand that you should be able to back up what you said but some things really back up. take perpetul motion, some people think it is impossible but the Earth is moving around the sun with no energy going into it.

The Earth will not perpetually move around the sun. Energy is constantly being lost in the form of gravitational waves.

where is it at physics network?

isnt gravity constant? it is pulling at the rate all the time mattering on your distance

Do Newtons laws apply? Not at high velocities, am I correct? Well, the Earth travels around the sun at 100,000 km per hour. Is that not high velocity? Well , it is said that Newtons laws don't apply at high velocities, or is size and proportion involved?

Yes, Newton's laws apply for macroscopic systems. It's just that we have to use relativistic versions of those laws at high speeds. Of course, the relativistic versions are correct at low speeds too.

I am. Stop using Physics Forums as a crackpot chat site.
