Stating a Physics Law without Physics Terminology

Buckminster Fuller's restatement of Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, without using any of the physics terminology in the original, is thought provoking in how flaky it sounds.

Newton\'s Law of Universal Gravitation

Every point mass attracts every single other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

Notes:

A concise statement of a physical law.

Comparison

A Unique Statement of the Law of Universal Gravitation

The relative interattractiveness invisibly operative between any two remote-from-one-another cosmic bodies, as compared to any other pair of cosmic bodies, equally distanced from one another, is proportional to the multiplicative product of the respective couple\'s masses, and the interattractiveness of any pair of celestial bodies varies inversely as the second power of the distance between them. Halve the intervening distance and the interattractiveness increases fourfold.

Notes:

That does not use the word \"Gravity\".
