disambugation page?[edit]

should the "first law" refer to the first law of thermodynamics, rather than a fictional law regarding robots? Elpha 13:24, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. There are bound to be any number of first laws of (something) but this story is just called "first law" and nothing else.

More to the point, the article is flawed in it claim that there were no aliens in the Foundation universe. While it is true that none of the main stories mentioned SENTIENT aliens, the existence of alien plants and animals was established.

Agreed. I'm removing the sections that claim this as an inconsistency with the rest of the Foundation universe. Johnny Pez 00:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)it sucks[reply]

I think the plot section of this page might need some rewrite to better fit the wiki style, but I have not attempted to make such a change. Heflinator (talk) 06:08, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Back to the topic of the heading this all is under (and putting a new heading in the middle of someone's post seems rude), The first law of thermodynamics is known as the "first law" and nothing else across several disciplines (including, if I recall correctly, some that have their own first law... in which case that one is called the first law of w/e discipline.) 131.151.26.147 (talk) 23:56, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
