The holy second law is untouched till now (note: in the question thread), such is the power of the second law. It is in a way the basis of force as we perceive in daily life. Yeah, let’s play with the force itself.

Here’s the second law.

The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force applied, and this change in momentum takes place in the direction of the applied force.

So we write it in mathematical notation as $$ \vec{F} \propto \dot{\vec{p}} $$


I modify the law to be…

The rate of change of momentum of a body is inversely proportional to the force applied, and this change in momentum takes place in the direction of the applied force.

Oooh, so now the mathematical form would change to…

$$ \vec{F} \propto \dfrac{1}{\dot{\vec{p}}} $$

Oh, hey, since $\vec{p}=m\vec{v}$, as you slow down the force would increase.

That is, in familiar form…

$$ \vec{F} = \dfrac{1}{m\vec{a}} $$

I can’t fathom the craziness it would make… like, an ant commits a genocide?

To lessen the force, you would need to go more faster.

So when a car hits you, it needs to go faster to stop.

I must have made the grandfather of paradoxical physics proud.


On the flip side, we can travel faster than light. Yay!
