Now in his earliest metaphysic embedded in Science and the Modern World Whitehead did address a problem common to philosophers of that period: how to find a workable substitute for space, time, and matter, the discredited notions of scientific materialism.

These passages should make it clear that the extensive continuum is not a container sitting there waiting for actual occasions to happen in it; it is not an analogue to the notion of absolute space and time; it is not a fact prior to the world.

In its notions of matter, space and time, the new physics gives us a fundamentally different picture of nature from the one we are accustomed to.

It is a mistake, however, to overlook the notions of space and location: it is not necessary to leave these concepts to the abstractness of a static formal model or to unanalyzed technological «common sense.»

Our notions of location are a case where, in the absence of that criticism, common sense may lead us into mistaken and disastrous ideas and plans involving space and time.

This has a nice mathematical analog in the idea of a topological space, a set with no a priori notion of distance that nonetheless formalizes the ideas of separation and proximity.

In 1905 Einstein published his Special Theory of Relativity, in which he questioned the very notion of absolute space, showing that nothing is ever absolutely at rest or absolutely in motion.

Thus, just as it is necessary to surrender the notion of absolute space because there is no fixed point in space, so we must now surrender the notion of absolute time.

Whitehead is seeing that if you are having a radical view, starting from events and flying to get space - time, with his insistence on sense - awareness and durations for the strong notion of an event, this is going to affect everything all along the line.

It is by reference to the causes and the effects of motions that absolute and relative motions can be distinguished and consequently that the notion of absolute space can be determined:»... we may distinguish rest and motion, absolute and relative, one from the other by their properties, causes, and effects» (PNP 8).

It would involve the abandoning of the Newtonian notions about space and time structure investigated here.

Whiteheadian cosmology embraces the notion of a uniform metric structure for the space - time continuum that is independent of the material objects commonly said to be «in» space - time and also that is independent of the material objects appropriated as standards of spatio - temporal measurement.

In as equally clear a manner Whitehead acknowledges that he incorporates in his cosmology certain of Newton's notions about space and time structure.

The investigation below into certain features of the Newtonian and the Whiteheadian theories of space and time structure is an argument that other important and essentially Newtonian notions about space and time structure are fundamental to Whitehead's theory.

Newton defines «absolute motion» and «relative motion» using his previously introduced notions of absolute space and absolute time (PNP 7 - 8).

More to the point, Newton's «Scholium» which introduces the notions of «absolute, true, mathematical» space and time, and «relative, apparent, common» space and time (PNP 6 - 12), makes clear that absolute space and absolute time continua are thought to be necessary for a satisfactory theory of dynamics, that is, a theory of the forces which determine • the motion of material objects.7 The main idea in Newton's position is that not all physical frames of reference are suitable for satisfactory analysis of the motion of material objects; in fact, no physical frame of reference is completely suitable for this purpose.

Whitehead: The presence in Whitehead's position of important notions about space and time structure which are essentially Newtonian becomes clear as one investigates the meaning of such representative claims as the following:

Newton's theory of space and time structure is more detailed than is indicated in the preceding analysis; for instance, there is a theological dimension to Newton's theory.16 For present purposes, however, only one further notion concerning the nature of absolute space and absolute time in Newton's theory is of interest.
