Modern physics indicates that the choice of phrasing about lifting stones should relate to acceleration; however, this does not in itself of course invalidate the fundamental concept of the generalized omnipotence paradox.
This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.
This article is a list of notable unsolved problems in astronomy.Problems may be theoretical or experimental. Theoretical problems result from inability of current theories to explain observed phenomena or experimental results.

Before training, walks can be a little hectic. But with time your dog will understand the ins and outs of going outside. Although it's best to be mindful of which jacket you choose to wear on ...
[1] [2] Constructor theory expresses physical laws exclusively in terms of which physical transformations, or tasks, are possible versus which are impossible, and why. By allowing such counterfactual statements into fundamental physics, it allows new physical laws to be expressed, such as the constructor theory of information. [3] [4]
