So a bird is exactly the same as a rocket?
No.
But Newton's 3rd is applied to both in exactly the same manner...
Remember Newton's 3rd?
The topic of the thread, yes?
You're the one who doesn't get it.
This will never become true no matter how long your brainwashing disinfo-ass repeats it.
Birds, fish and cars move by force pairing with their environment.
Correct.
Rockets move by force pairing with the propellant that they forcibly eject.
Incorrect.
Nothing can create a force-pairing with its own force.
An entirely separate & external mass is required.
And, in the case of a vacuum, that separate & external mass is absent.
And you cannot push on Nothing.
Newton's 3rd forbids it.

Newton's Third Law
Identifying Action and Reaction Force Pairs
A force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. Forces result from interactions!
Examples of Interaction Force Pairs
A variety of action-reaction force pairs are evident in nature. Consider the propulsion of a fish through the water. A fish uses its fins to push water backwards. But a push on the water will only serve to accelerate the water. Since forces result from mutual interactions, the water must also be pushing the fish forwards, propelling the fish through the water. The size of the force on the water equals the size of the force on the fish; the direction of the force on the water (backwards) is opposite the direction of the force on the fish (forwards). For every action, there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction force. Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for fish to swim.
Consider the flying motion of birds. A bird flies by use of its wings. The wings of a bird push air downwards. Since forces result from mutual interactions, the air must also be pushing the bird upwards. The size of the force on the air equals the size of the force on the bird; the direction of the force on the air (downwards) is opposite the direction of the force on the bird (upwards). For every action, there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction. Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for birds to fly.
Consider the motion of a car on the way to school. A car is equipped with wheels that spin. As the wheels spin, they grip the road and push the road backwards. Since forces result from mutual interactions, the road must also be pushing the wheels forward. The size of the force on the road equals the size of the force on the wheels (or car); the direction of the force on the road (backwards) is opposite the direction of the force on the wheels (forwards). For every action, there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction. Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for cars to move along a roadway surface.Pretty simple stuff...
I await your insane bullshit replies with utter indifference.
