I think what Kristy ment with reaction is that for every action in nature there is a reaction against like, everything needs to be in balance. So its like in IM/AM i think is the same for every reaction u have smt else in return.

Hi there,

About the third law – I understand why the reaction is equal, but I don’t get why it’s an opposite reaction. As far as AM goes, reactions may vary according to lots of variables: your perspective, idea or implementation, the strategy of your business partners, his or her plan or eagerness to participate in your plan etc. So my issue is rather terminological and axiomatic: any reaction is, at least partially, the opposite of its reference.

Wow, you really did go to a venerable school Shane. Was inventing fundamental laws part of the lessons? Got any gems of your own you’d care to share??

Thats Mr Newtons signature on the window sill at the school that he (and I) used to go to (obviously not at the same time ), however just below the window, also carved into the wall is the 3 laws as above!

I wonder if he got a detention for scraping his name in the wall…

Hahahaha – that’s better Matt a good analogy.

There’s loads of posts around about the third law in this respect. You get out what you put in is the basic theory I reckon!

Fair point, actually I intended it to be a bit less formal looking than it came out.

The analogy works for AM because errrr ummmmm earning money (the upwards force that drivesthe vessel) is in reaction to doing something valuable for your users (the downwards thrust). How’s that?

(Actually that works for most businesses. Revenue is a reaction to what the business does for its customers).

There’s always one nitpicker….;)

This is an affiliate marketing post Matt! The rocket analogy is just an explaination of the ground’s force and how one can relate it to your effort in affiliate marketing, not the function of actual rockets. Believe it or not I don’t have to be 110% scientifically accurate to illustrate my point. I’m fairly sure Isaac isn’t going to turn up in person and complain. If he does, I hope he has the decency to do so in daylight hours.

Now if you’d backed that up with an affiliate marketing analogy about why point 3 in the post was innacurate I would, of course, have conceded you were completely right. LOL

Rocket thrust is nothing to do with the ground ‘pushing back’. The rocket produces thrust at the tail (‘downwards’ if vertical), the reaction to which is it an equal force in the opposite direction (in this case, upwards). Rocket’s don’t need to have one end pointed at the ground to work (thankfully).

Ha ha ha ha – and this is absolute 100% proof positive that just when you think you’ve had a unique idea in affiliate marketing you find out someone else thought of it years ago.

Here’s my interpretation of the 3rd Law from a while back
