"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Does this mean for every act of good that is committed there is an equal act of evil created by that action?

Edit:
I thought about this question long and hard.
An action is a force.
Good and evil are both forces of nature, and the universe.
So your adding a force upon a force.
The actions are like a ball and giving good or evil to the balll, is like giving the ball an exact type of idenity.
Now if you say the ball is good or evil then the ball has the transfer ability because of momentum to spawn another good or evil manifestion.
There you go.
Good actions should bring forth good actions if there is a correlation between the second law of Newton's and the conception of morals. But take note the bal of actionsl is not always solid, and is contrived, construed and fabricated, by actions, thoughts, and forces themselves.
Good idea. But I think its a little more advanced then Newton.

Yes it does, however it is not the fact of good or evil acts but any act. The Small world effect shows how a small or a lrage act can have vast flow-on consecuences. This is niot to be confused with the chaos theory. You know, "A butterfly flaps it's wings and a hurricane develops off the coast" sort of thing, although this analogy does explain both nicely.

The small world effect goes like this, I nearly crash into you at an intersection. You are distured and shaken by it, so much so that you fail to see another car at antoher intersection a few minutes later. A person in that car dies as a result of the crash. Therefore my action has caused the death of that person. Because of our interconectedness and closes quarter living in cities any action that we take that involves other people will effect others in ways that we are unable to predict.

So in short yes, EVERY action has an equal but sometimes not opposite reaction.

Hope this helps.

The beautiful is known as beautiful,
Because we know what ugly is.
The good is known as good,
Because we know what bad is.

Every aspect has its counterpart.
What is heavy resides on what is light.
Long and short opposes each other.
Tall and short support each other.
A voice is made up of sounds.
What begins has to have an end eventually.

The Wise Person lives by non-interfering,
Thus he instructs other by example not by words.

Things in the world continuously change.
The Wise One doesn't cling to anything.
For him all are seen with the same potentiality.
He acquires merits but is not attached to them.
His takes things the way they are.
In performing he is above the actions.
Thus his merits are always with him.

No, even basic leverage could nullify your occasion, it does not require 10 kilos of stress (from you) to circulate a 10 pound merchandise. If he picked up the rock (on an identical time as status on the size then it may upload 10 kilos). greater suitable telekinesis is now called psychokinesis (PK) interior the scientific analyze literature. the outcomes are often on thrown cube and digital quantity turbines and the outcomes (and any stress) is extremely small. in reality the outcomes often require information to discover. So, it may stick to this regulation we purely don't be attentive to. Nina Kulagina of the former soviet union verified those understanding and her heart and pulse value went truly intense (indicating dissimilar stress). inspite of the desires of skeptics no magician has ever replicated her demonstrations under the comparable situations (controlled lab placing and stated by ability of scientist) to no longer point out the organic and organic responses. I truly have secure a hyperlink under. All that suggested I truly agree there is not any longer yet a sturdy theory/hypothesis that explains the experimental outcomes. in spite of the undeniable fact that, this comparable situation applies in quantum physics and superstring theory.

I agree with Chance, you really can't compare as we're talking about a physical reaction versus something that is essentially up to a person. But if you wanted to compare, the only idea that can sound like this is Karma. So if you believe in karma, then something will happen (even if it may not be on the same scale).

Taijitu - everything has balance. You can't create something without creating a balance on the other side of the equation for it. Good must come out of evil, evil must come out of good.

you would have to first determine are good and evil opposites of each other? or would lack of good be the opposite of good? and lack of good isnt necessarily evil , just as the lack of evil isnt /doesnt have to be good, then, opposite doesnt have to mean opposed, it could mean oppositional position, such as if i blow in the air, that force of wind might move a feather, opposite from me, it wouldnt move it if it was behind me,

Sorry....
In response, I have to state what, to me, is obvious.
You seek to compare 'apples and oranges' falsely from one absolute perspective...That is to say...Science and, for lack of a simpler term, Morality can't be legitimately compared in the same vein...the two don't play well together...nor should we expect them to.

For the record, however, Thanks for an intriguing question....definitely gave me a moment's pause.
