Creating a law to restrict the personal use of cars and requiring everyone to use public transportation would be as unthinkable as revising the laws of gravity. There are some forces so fundamental that we have no control over them.
What makes this analogy unsound?
Societies do have control over the laws they make.
Controlling personal car use takes minimal effort.
Rules and laws always have some exceptions.

The analogy is unsound because the laws of gravity are natural and universal phenomena that cannot be controlled or altered by human societies. In contrast, laws made by societies are man-made and can be revised or changed as needed. Additionally, controlling personal car use does require significant effort, as it involves planning and implementing efficient public transportation systems, infrastructure development, and addressing various logistical challenges. Finally, while rules and laws may have exceptions, the analogy fails to mention that there can be exceptions or exemptions to laws restricting personal car use, such as for medical emergencies or specific circumstances.
