Techne, Power, Gravity

The expression 'Knowledge is Power' is often interpreted as 'To know X is to have power over X'.  Thus, as has been proven in the past century, to know that Gravity = Mass x 32 ft./second-squared is to have power over it, to overcome it e. g. with a flying machine.  But, on closer examination, G is fundamentally a formulation of what is required for a human to fly, i. e. i. e. the exertion of a force greater than G, from which the concept of 'power over G' is derived.  In other words, knowledge of G first empowers its possessor, with power over G a consequence.  Likewise, more generally, Techne is a Knowledge that is Power primarily because it empowers the Knower.  Accordingly, 'Knowledge is Power' fundamentally means 'Knowledge Empowers'.
