... In virtually all polls of who were the greatest physicists, Isaac Newton ¹ and Albert Einstein come out on top. Sometimes one wins, sometimes the other, but no other physicist even comes close. One argument in favor of Newton is that in breadth of interest and achievements, he wins...

... of the developments leading from the impetus model of force to Newton's interactive idea of force can help students better understand the conceptual obstacles that must be overcome in order to understand Newtonian force theory. The analysis of this “discontinuity” in the development of the theory can lead...

... knowledge provide a causal demonstration, which marks it off from the crafts (which only know “how” and not “why”). These requirements for scientific knowledge changed significantly in the 17th century. While Galilei, Huygens and Newton still accepted the infallibility of science, they refused the need...

... ): new discoveries, theories and investigative methodologies (of Bacon, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Boyle, Newton, Leibniz), were buoyed by an emerging mechanistic philosophy; the reaction in philosophy took new directions with empiricism, rationalism, idealism and positivism.

... in the physical world ( Hestenes, 1992 ). Newton's laws are core principles in mechanics, and so are the core concepts that appear in them: force, velocity, and acceleration. When taken together, these principles and concepts produce explanatory models of linear, circular, or other forms of motion of objects...

In the following steps of scientific evolution, the effort to understand and describe physical processes in detail led to the development of mathematical techniques that enabled deeper analysis. One of the most famous examples is the approach of Newton, who invented...

... quantities. In particular, if the specific value is what is unique and enduring about a quantity, then two events that have a time separation Δt = 0 in one reference frame will have Δt = 0 in all frames, leading to absolute simultaneity. This is implied in Galilean relativity by Newton's...
