I believe that Br'er Rael refers to Sir Issac Newton's Third Law of
Motion: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."
The universality of the law is most easily noted when comparing the
aforesaid ROF and the launch of the Space Shuttle. When equilibrium is
established both produce a large mass of brilliant flame, a huge cloud
of steam and smoke and an ear piercing shriek.
