No one is stopping you from presenting your critique of Newtonian mechanics, as long as you do it here in Theory Development.dedaNoe said:I've been told (that's how it's written in terms and conditions) my objections to Newtonian mechanics are not suitable for posting here in PF. I'd like to know then who is in charge for that i.e. where should I send my objections?

Newtonian mechanics is a branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of objects based on Newton's laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation.
Sir Isaac Newton is credited as the "father" of Newtonian mechanics, as he developed the laws and principles that form its basis.
Some objections to Newtonian mechanics include its inability to fully explain certain phenomena, such as the behavior of light and the rotation of galaxies, as well as its reliance on absolute space and time which has been challenged by the theory of relativity.
As a scientific theory, objections to Newtonian mechanics are addressed and studied by scientists and researchers in the field of physics. This includes testing and refining the theory, as well as developing alternative explanations or theories.
Yes, Newtonian mechanics is still relevant today and is used in many practical applications, such as engineering and space exploration. However, it has been expanded upon and refined by newer theories, such as quantum mechanics and relativity, which provide a more complete understanding of the physical world.
