Rethinking Time and Dynamics
This chapter explores the evolution of our understanding of time and space, shifting from Newton's absolute constructs to more abstract interpretations influenced by modern physics. It examines the philosophical implications of this shift, referencing key thinkers such as Leibniz and Poincaré, while discussing the challenges of applying Newtonian dynamics in a four-dimensional framework. The chapter also touches upon innovative concepts like 'dilatational momentum' and the significance of Carl Sundman's work on the three-body problem, emphasizing the need for a new perspective on dynamics.
