Overview

Newton's Three Laws of Motion are a landmark achievement in physics. They describe how all objects move. Unfortunately, most people do not really understand Newton's Laws because they have pre-existing ideas about the way the world works. This film is about those pre-existing ideas. By recognizing what people are thinking, it becomes easier to describe the correct scientific concepts of Newton's Three Laws and how they differ from this 'intuitive physics'.
