Freedom of Science

Here’s the graphic related to yesterday’s post about Newtonian Mechanics:

The graphic illustrates the point that scholastic doctors are a constant of history and even though the name of the profession changes what doctors study and how they study it remains the same.

The graphic starts with something called nature. Nature is the label under which we collect databases containing representations of motion. In order to make sense of these databases we must use some kind of interpretation. There are two kinds:

1. free
2. codified.

In the free method, a scientist studies the database with freedom to use any method he wants in order to discover a pattern.

The codified approach is the method used by scholastic doctors. They try to find a pattern in the database that matches their doctrines. Doctors of physics habitually label their doctrines Mechanics.

For millennia Aristotelian Mechanics was the doctrine doctors used to interpret the world as represented by ancient databases that they did not bother to consult.

When Newton discovered R3T2 he used the predictive power of R3T2 to leverage the creation of a new doctrine: Newtonian Mechanics.
 
Newton chose the ingenious marketing name Natural Philosophy to entice his scholastic colleagues to dump Aristotelian Mechanics and embrace this new doctrine. In the 19th century when Newtonian scholastic doctors wanted to adapt to changing times by becoming a professional class they changed their names to physicists.

We are now in a position to rectify physics corrupted by Newton by eliminating Newtonian occult labels in order to recover R3T2.

Let’s free physics from Newtonian legacy code.
