Kepler discovered a rule from observations.
Computational part of physics is an algorithm that takes given values of physical quantities and transforms them according to a rule.
Newton did not discover a new rule but defined metaphysical laws and causes.
Therefore, it is clear that physics is using Kepler’s rule to make computations.
The only […]

Scientific revolutions happen when people realize that algorithms are independent of axioms. In physics Newton’s axioms are still believed to be coupled to the algorithm called Newtonian mechanics because they are assumed to be laws of nature.

To me F=ma is an absurd statement which is equal to

Here’s the derivation: F is the Newtonian force. By definition the Newtonian force acts instantaneously from a distance. Therefore, for the Newtonian force all distances are zero. As far as F is concerned radius R of any orbit is zero because F traverses any […]

1. F=ma
Physicists start their derivation with

This statement may be meaningful to physicists but the truth is that all three terms, F, m and a, disappear during the derivation. None of these Newtonian terms enter the formula used to compute orbits. From this observation we must conclude that F, m and a are not quantities that […]

I’ve been trying to decipher the data types of F, m and a in physicists’ expression F=ma. I still do not know for certain. I believe the standard interpretation by physicists is that force F is proportional to acceleration a

and mass m is the proportionality constant.
Is force a physical quantity?
For a proportionality to […]

This is adapted from comments:
If someone turned off gravity right now, then all currently orbiting planets would just fly out at tangents.
Interesting point. In pre-Newtonian times people proved the truth of astrology by the same type of circular reasoning. The believers said that astrology is true because if it weren’t the astrological influx between […]

We have principles here:
1. Nature is not supernatural.
2. Rational is not irrational.
I use these two scientific principles as the foundation of my research.
For instance, I use Principle 1 to eliminate the Newtonian occult force from physics:
Force is action-at-a-distance therefore force is occult. Occult is supernatural and, by Principle 1, nature is not supernatural, […]

Force: contact and occult

When I use the word force I mean the occult1 action-at-a-distance force invented by Newton. The table below lists the two kinds of forces:

Force disambiguation

Mechanics
Occultics

Fcontact = mweight a
Foccult = moccult a

Contact force
Action-at-a-distance Occult force

Interactions by contact
Interactions by occult between intelligent mass

Force and weight are relevant
Force and mass are decorative and cancel

Like most concepts in […]

I make the assumption that there is a database of observations (”Database”) and there are only three ways to model the Database:
1. Fit
2. Trig
3. Rule
Curve fitting and trigonometric series are used in practical positional astronomy and rule based computation is used in theoretical astronomy.
 
There are two rules:
1. Kepler
2. Newton
I claim that Kepler’s rule and Newton’s […]

The Origin of Force

At the heart of the issue is Newton’s use of Kepler’s rule. What did Newton do to Kepler’s rule? There are two versions describing Newton’s actions. One is the official physics mythology. The other is the historical record.
Maybe the way I described these two versions is biased. I called the physicists’ version to be the mythology […]
