The research has been confirmed by the scientific community globally but still needs to be confirmed experimentally. For that purpose, Ajay Sharma has written to the state government to provide a fund of Rs 10 lakh to Himachal Pradesh University where he will carry out the experiments. In a missive to the state government on November 20, he said his experiments will be supervised by the university's Department of Physics Chairman, Vir Singh Rangra.
“The biggest limitation of Newton's third law is that it neglects the shape of bodies,” Sharma, who is the assistant director for education with the state government, told IANS. Sharma claims that it is justified by simple observations like a round ball falling down due to attraction of the earth and rebounding due to reaction from the floor.
However, he says a spherical ball of rubber may have different shapes like sphere, semi-sphere, triangular, cone, square, long pipe, flat and irregular shape, etc. Newton’s law has not been quantitatively confirmed for any shape but considered true for every shape. “It is not scientifically justified. This issue has been raised by me at various international fora too logically,” he says.
