12. Newtonische Philosophie und Bewegungslehre

Abstract

Sir Isaac Newton's second law of motion in Newton's original Latin reads "Mutationem motus proportionalem esse vi motrici impressae", thus indicating a proportion between "vis motrix impressa", i.e. the force of motion impressed on a body, and "mutatio motus", the change of motion which the body accordingly performs. This proportion is tantamount to saying that the relation of the effected change of motion to the generating force is constant. Newton's second law evidently requires a constant of proportionality which is not known in classical mechanics. This "Newtonian constant" interrelates the force of motion (as cause of motion) and the generated change of motion (as effect of the generating force) to represent the physical-mathematical law of causality, "cause : effect = constant". An analysis of Newton's teaching brings the dimensions of that constant to light, showing that the constant is a geometric relation of "element of space" to "element of time" of dimensions [L/T]. With respect to dimensions [L/T], the Newtonian constant consequently can be considered as identical with the constant "vacuum velocity of light" c that controls most of modern physics. Once this constant is discovered as a necessary element of Newton's second law, Newton's theory of motion turns out as a most exact foundation of physics. This finding defeats all theories of modern physics that are due to the circumstance that Newton's realistic and true theory of motion erroneously had been identified and dismissed with the defective and unrealistic theory called "classical mechanics".
