I was thinking about How Harry could get over his Mobility problems in
a fight with the Death Eaters and the scene from Star Wars - The
Phantom Menace where Yoda duels Count Duku popped into my mind.
We have seen relitivly minor use of Summoning and Banishing Charms
taught by Professor Flitwick but what Happens when a Wizard uses them
on a relitivly Immovible object. The question I pose is does Newton's
Third Law apply and if so can this be used to make Harry zip about the
place even if it is draining on his magic reserves.
Ref. Newton's Third Law:
All forces in the universe occur in equal but oppositely directed
pairs. There are no isolated forces; for every external force that acts
on an object there is a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction
which acts back on the object which exerted that external force.
If there is one thing I have learned in writing, do not mix science
with magic. Otherwise you're liable to regret it. :)
