Teach Newton's Theory as the Simplest Model for the Nonlocal Organization of Cartesian Matter-Extension |
|
Abstract |
Newton's mechanics describes the spatial transport of constant masses while Einstein's physics works with inertial energy variables, including heat. Einstein's particles have the internal rest energy, which obeys the Lorentz transformations and the Lauer relativistic cooling under the slow motion. There are no point energy carriers or Dirac delta-densities in Nature. Newton's point mass without the internal thermal variable is an obsolete model of warm material space. Students should study this convenient model as a kind of mathematical simplifications for Cartesian physics of matter-extensions. In general, "Einstein's theory can be accepted only with the recognition that Newton's was wrong" (Thomas Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, 1962). The inertia in Einstein's physics depends on the heat contrary to Newton's physics. Secondary school and university teachers should explain the ontological difference between the competing mechanics of Newton and Einstein, despite the identical mathematics for the slow motion of constant masses and relativistic kinetic energies with internal chaos and translational order. |
