:)

Answer 2

The desire to reify the ego. I feel your frustration, but in your quest to be right and cling to positivist dogma, you missed the entire point of the dialogue with your family. If someone punches you in the face and knocks your front teeth out--are you going to blame Michael Faraday? After all, it's the electromagnetic repulsion between the atoms in their fist and your teeth that forces them out, and the assailant could truthfully say "I never touched you!" And why couldn't a water molecule in a particle accelerator build up enough energy to cleave a nucleus? Talking only of "facts" and things that "actually exist" is pointless. So we should create no new theories? Who declares what "facts" exist since each person can only working with their mental projection of what they believe the external world to be? The scientific method can't "prove" an idea, only determine it to be useful or not in a certain context. Newton's laws don't work at high speeds, but that doesn't mean they are "wrong"--we still teach them to the next generation of students . . . not because they are right or wrong (or because they are 'facts') but because they are useful. Useful for what? Only our non-fact based desires give us privy to that. Science maps the external world to the world of ideas but 'the map is not the territory'. What more significantly shapes our external world is the internal world of other people. It's often disguised because, although people act on emotion, they justify with reason. Only emotion gets people to do anything. It is only because of your desire to be right, to "have the answers", that brought you here. That said, to answer your last question, the Second Law of Thermodymacs appears to have the greatest realm of validity of all observations up to present. Although not a 'force', all known forces act in accord with it. But again, what makes a person great is not knowing this, but fighting it. Things don't last forever, so go paint a Sistine Chapel. Don't try to be right, and leave the arguments to everyone else.

Answer 3

As I look out over the world it seems like the power of hatred may be winning over love. And I need love to be the most powerful force - we all need love to be the most powerful!
God Bless the Whole World - NO EXCEPTIONS!

Answer 4

I have to agree with "The One That Got Away." It's the love a mother has for her children. It's a very special love. Mom's sacrifice a great deal when children come into the picture. (Except for Brittany. She needs lots of help.)

I would sacrifice my life in a moment if it would mean the lives of my children were secure. I can't even say that same thing regarding my husband, who I love dearly. There is just something about these little beings a woman brings into the world that make her so protective she would do any thing.

I remember being absolutely in love with my first born when he was about 6 months old. As far as I was concerned, only he and I existed.

Oh, yeah. His father too. hee-hee-hee (...just kidding) ---- ;-)

And then his little brother, my cutie pie (he would DIE if he knew I wrote that!) LOL!

Answer 5

Ideally, the most powerful force on Earth is love.

Since I am also a realist, I must conclude that love is a close second to gravity.

Love sometimes fails; gravity does not.

Answer 6

Love

Answer 7

The population explosion is now so far beyond control it has emerged as the single most powerful force driving government policy and worldwide inflation.

Answer 8

love---.Love is created not by words but by feelings;
not by humans but by hearts.
It is better expressed in deeds than in words.
love can never be wrong; it's the people, time and place that go wrong.
Learn from your mistakes; don't correct a mistake with another one.
ove is a noble act of self giving, offering your trust, faith and loyalty.
The more you love, the more you lose a part of you;
yet you don't become less of who you are, you just end up being complete.
Love need not stand in front of us to be recognized.
If it's far for the eyes to see, it has power close enough for the heart to feel.

Answer 9

Gravity. Without gravity we'd all go flying into space. In space you can't breath and therefore there would be no life. Unless we develped claws to cling onto the ground with so we didn't go flying into space.

Answer 10

Gravity
