Abstract :
This paper describe the reaction of the reader in June column (R. Bansal, 2005) explored MIT physicist Frank Wilczek\´s statement that Newton\´s law isn\´t universally true: "it fails for magnetic forces between charged particles". The column provided a thought experiment from the Feynman Lectures on Physics (R. Feynman et al., 1964), where two charged particles were moving at right angles to each other and one of them had an unopposed magnetic force acting on it
