This book looks at how Newton's theories can be linked to modern
day problems and solutions in physics. Newton created an abstract
system of theorizing which has been applied to all aspects of the
physical world, however he had difficulties in persuading his
contemporaries of its unique merits. A detailed study of Newton's
writings, published and unpublished, suggests that he had an almost
archetypally powerful mode of thinking guaranteed to produce
'correct' results even in areas of physics where systematic study
only began long after his time. Newton and Modern Physics
investigates this phenomenon, looking at examples of where Newton's
principles have relevance to modern day thinking - the study of
Newton's work in both seventeenth century and present-day contexts
helps to enhance our understanding of both.This unique book is
published as the first of a three-part set for Newtonian scholars,
historians of science, philosophers of science and others
interested in Newtonian physics.All Titles: 1.Newton and Modern
Physics 2.Newton and the Great World System 3.Newton - Innovation
