Can Newton's law on If physical action &causes reaction be considered as a parallel of the Buddhist concept of Cause and Effect, doesn't mental action cause reaction too?

Buddhism often speaks of cause and effect. In factFor example, theNewton's third law of Karma is seen asthat if a body acts another body, so the other body reacts to the acting body.

Now consider a mental action, for example one person who loves another person: that action doesn't always cause a reaction, the other person doesn't love a person who loves.

Is not the law of action and reaction, of cause and effect. Can this find parallels in scientific thought like in the Newton's laws, also true for mental actions as it is for physical actions?

Is Can Newton's action- reaction law true for only on action & reaction be considered as a parallel of the body? Isn't it true for our mind?Buddhist concept of Cause and Effect

Buddhism often speaks of cause and effect. In fact, the law of Karma is seen as the law of cause and effect. GivenCan this more logical/scientific presentation, I wonder if we could make it morefind parallels in scientific.

Newton's third law is that a body acts the other body so the other body reacts to the acting body. For example, A person loves the other person. But though like in the other person doesn't love a person who loves. So is it also action and reaction?Newton's laws?

Added an introductory passage explaining the relevance to Buddhism (as I understand it).
