Newton’s First Law of Motion
“An object that is at rest will stay at rest unless a force acts upon it.” I watched the movie “Wonder” today. It makes reference to this law when panning through an overhead view of a classroom, centering on the main character, August (Auggie) Pullman, a boy with a major facial deformity, sitting at his…

Real Talk (the flip side)
