The Newtonian Paradigm: A Framework for Physics

The laws of nature are timeless. They act on a system, so to speak, from outside the system. If you know the state, any time you can predict the state at any other time. I call that the Newtonian paradigm because it was invented by Newton. This is the framework for doing physics. It's been very successful within the proper domain. The proper domain is small bits of the universe, small parts of the universe. And since the initial conditions are input to this method that Newton developed, it can't be explained within that method. So if we want to ask cosmological questions, if we wants to really explain everything, we need to apply a different method. We
