The Influence of Newtonian Laws on our Mental Models
This chapter explores how Newtonian laws shaped our personal mental models and influenced our understanding of the universe. It discusses the metaphor of mechanical watches and clocks as a representation of how the universe works, and the limitations of this metaphor. It also touches on Newton's belief in God's intervention through comets, disrupting the clockwork-like orbits of planets.
