Here's a convo you can overhear while visiting the citadel, I thought it was pretty awesome so I decided to share it.  Just imagine R Lee Ermey reciting the lines.

Gunnery Chief: Private, WHAT is Newton's first law?

Private: Sir, an object in motion stays in motion, sir!

Gunnery Chief: You do NOT get credit for partial answers, Private.

Private: Sir, unless acted upon by another force, sir!

Gunnery Chief: That is right.  Space is empty.  When you fire a weapon, that projectile will travel until it hits the ship, or the planet behind that ship, or some unfortunate mother ****er 10,000 light years away.  You will hit someone, somewhere, sometime.  THAT is why, Private Chung, we do not 'eyeball' our target!  That is why we wait for a firing solution. This is a weapon of mass destruction, we do not shoot from the hip like some cowboy!

He's talking about Mass Effect 2, since the first one featured no swearing.

Please don't post ME2 spoilers in this forum.

I don't want my gameplay be spoiled.

Pfft Newton.

I prefer Einstein's theory, stating that if there is a force applied to an object, it would deviate from the geodesics in spacetime.

It's a throwaway conversation you overhear, I really didn't imagine anyone would be concerned about such a thing.

"Holy Dog S**t! Only steers and queers like Einstein's theory of geodesics in spacetime, and you don't look much like a steer to me so that kind of narrows it down!"

Little Gunnery Sergeant Hartman for you there, in the spirit of this thread.

 Well that throwaway convo is spoiled...

Anyway, maybe just consider putting SPOILER in the title just in case.

Newton's theories depended on underlying assumptions he penned as "absolute space," an inert arena where events take place, and "absolute time," which flows at the same rate for all observers.

Einstein blew away both of these assumptions outright. So, yes, Newton's laws must be rejected as Newton understood them.
