Newton invented calculus and was most famous for his laws of Newtonian physics which dominated scientific thinking for nearly 200 years about force, motion and mass.

If it does, these gravitational lacunae will be the last resting place of other occasionally fashionable theories, such as Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND).

But models which modify Newtonian gravity in this way are difficult to take seriously because theorists pluck them out of thin air, rather than deducing them from a particular theory of gravity.

In positing a mechanical view of the mind and of human agency, psychology and neuroscience are following in the path of the understanding of nature brought forth in the seventeenth century by Newtonian mechanics and vastly expanded since then.

They show that the theory can account for other effects as well, including the stability of matter: other worlds pressing in on our own stop electrons from falling into the nucleus of atoms, as they would in a purely Newtonian world.

The mathematics of quantum mechanics, Roushan said, do not allow for the chaos described by Newtonian laws of motion.

Using a description of the relative acceleration of neighbouring particles falling under the influence of gravity, he is then able to derive the classical Newtonian theory in a «modern» manner.

I like to compare the CICO model with Newtonian Physics... it is accurate and describes gravity for a majority of cases but it is not complete.

They found that the star's actual orbit deviated from Newtonian predictions exactly as predicted by Einstein's general relativity — although the effect was slight.

But it posed a problem: Its orbit didn't match predictions based on Newtonian gravity.

When Whitehead first asked himself this question, the authority of Newtonian concepts in physics was absolute.

The constitutional separation of powers and the «checks - and - balances» system was, Wilson thought, based on an outmoded Newtonian understanding of the universe.

And «the picture of the world correlative with the method of science» which is now in progress is vastly different from that picture of the world which Newtonian science throughout the nineteenth century and well into our own presented.

By precisely measuring its motion around the black hole, the researchers could compare its orbit with predictions laid out by classical Newtonian dynamics.

This means in practice that the pressure drop of a non-Newtonian fluid in laminar flow is not directly proportional to the flow rate as for Newtonian fluids in laminar flow.

Milgrom calls his brainchild MOND, for Modified Newtonian Dynamics.

What we lack is imagination of what space is when it is not yet Newtonian space.

The divine power may be relatively supreme, in that it is not subject to any foreign agency, and yet it may also be limited in an internal way to what can be done in accordance with Newtonian mechanical laws.

In fact, most people in their day - to - day job would see themselves more as Newtonian Leaders than Quantum Leaders.

It overcame apparent contradictions between Newtonian gravity and special relativity by interpreting gravity in terms of the geometry of space - time.

Unlike Newtonian particles which are what they are without their relations to other particles, a Whiteheadian event is what it is, in part, because of its relations to other events.

Thus, human (and animal) bodies are spatially extended without being material in the traditional Cartesian / Newtonian sense.

Another physicist, Hans - Peter Dürr of the Max Planck Institute in Munich, has argued that Sheldrake's theories are among the first to reconcile 20th - century breakthroughs in physics — which emphasize the primacy of fields and the indivisible nature of matter — with biology, which for the most part remains rooted in 19th - century Newtonian concepts of particles and separateness.

The acceptance by the general physics community of quantum mechanics is due to its accurate prediction of the physical behaviour of systems, including systems where Newtonian mechanics fails.
