Isaac Newton’s mechanics is based on a theology: his God is a geometer and an architect who has known how to combine the materials of the system in such a way that result a stable state of equilibrium and a … Read More
The interpretation of Isaac Newton’s texts has sparked controversy to this day. One of the most heated debates relates to the action between two bodies distant from each other (the gravitational attraction), and to what extent Newton involved God in … Read More
The book is an overview of the major subfields and concepts in physics, including a brief outline of the history of physics and its subfields. Physics (from Greek from φυσικός (phusikos): natural, from φύσις (fysis): Nature) is the science of … Read More
The current cosmological models are built based on general relativity. The solutions of the specific equations, Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker, [1] allow to model the evolution of the universe starting from the Big Bang.[2] Some of the parameters of the universe have been … Read More
Clifford M. Will describes, in Theory and Experiment in Gravitational Physics, [1] the emergence of a new era for general relativity, testing and checking at very high levels of accuracy. In 1959, scientists at Lincoln Laboratories in Massachusetts bombarded the … Read More
Gravity has a universal character, but its strength rapidly decreases with distance, being the weakest of the four fundamental forces of physics[1]. In the 4th century BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle considered as the cause of the fall of heavy … Read More
As John Henry states, (Henry 2011) Newton simply wants to reaffirm the truth of God’s omnipresence without directly involving him in the physics of the world system. Newton simply wants to distance himself from a Cartesian concept of God and … Read More
Different authors have attempted to clarify the aspects of remote action and God’s involvement on the basis of textual investigations, mainly from the Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, (Newton, 1999b) Newton’s correspondence with Richard Bentley (1692/93), (Bentley 1693) and Queries … Read More
