In fact, there is no “Newtonian mechanics” in Newton’s Principia. This is true because Newton did not use units. Modern physics, on the other hand, is defined as a consistent system of units made of physical quantities. Newton’s astronomical computations in the Principia are independent of axioms and laws of book 1. They are simple applications of Kepler’s rule. Subsequent generations of Newtonians turned this tiny sample of proportional computations into a vast consistent system of units known today as Newtonian mechanics. [...] […] The mechanics part of the Principia is very thin. In fact, there is no “Newtonian mechanics” in Newton’s Principia. This is true because Newton did not use units.

There is no exception to this rule. Example: “Newton’s laws” is not a physical quantity therefore “Newton’s laws” is metaphysics and does not belong to scientific physics. Laws, principles, axioms, definitions, conjectures and similar philosophical stuff are independent of scientific physics. If we define physics as the science that studies physical quantities then we must accept that philosophical stuff belongs to metaphysics and not to physics. A physical quantity is defined as [...] […] In physics anything which is not a physical quantity is metaphysics. There is no exception to this rule.

The terms F, m and a all have type authority. Physicists include them in their equations to save Newton’s authority. It appears that in physics, the definition of “physical quantity” says nothing about the properties of the physical quantity. In physics a physical quantity is a number multiplied by a unit. See this post. [↩]Is there no limit how far deep into the absurd physicists will push physics in order to save Newton’s authority?
