820.0. "laws of nature" by ADVAX::MARSHALL () Tue Aug 09 1988 18:26

    This may not be the place for this but...given the large amount
    of readers and writers to this conference I am wondering collectively
    could anyone list the universal laws of nature and a description
    of each? such as the law of motion, the law of diminishing returns
    etc...

   Even the law of gravity is no longer sacred.  A Washington Post
   article last week described an experiment in Greenland which found
   that gravity is not precisely constant.

   Physicists bored a 1 mile deep hole in the ice pack, then lowered a
   gravity meter into the hole.  As expected, the 'weight' of the mass
   decreased as it was lowered, but it decreased *too much*.  If I recall,
   the change was about 1/50th (2%) more than predicted if gravity were
   constant.

   Speculation as to cause center around two existing theories --
   'gravity particles' or a 'fifth force'.  The article mentioned that
   this was not the first experiment to suggest a 'problem' with gravity,
   but that it was the most accurate and incontrovertable.

        And let us not forget the indominable nature of 
    John Mitchell's LAWS (e.g. see note 814.28)
