Laws Of Motion

Galilean relativity is a useful description of nature at low speed. Galileo found that the vertical component of a projectile’s velocity evolves independently of its horizontal component. In a frame that moves horizontally along with the projectile, for example, the projectile appears to go straight up and down exactly as if it had been launched vertically. The laws of motion in one dimension are independent of any motion in the other dimensions. This leads to the idea that the laws of motion (and all other laws of physics) are equally valid in any inertial frame: the principle of relativity. This principle implies that no inertial frame can be considered “really stationary” or “really moving.” There is no absolute standard of velocity (contrast this with acceleration where Newton’s first law provides an absolute standard). We discuss some apparent counterexamples in everyday experience, and show how everyday experience can be misleading.

Second Analogy

Abstract I defend what I take to be a genuinely Kantian view on temporal extension: time is not an object but a human horizon of concrete particulars. As such, time depends on the existence of embodied human subjects. It does not, however, depend on those subjects determined as spatial objects. Starting with a realist notion of “apperception” as applied to indexical space (1), I proceed with the need for external criteria of temporal duration (2). In accordance with Kant’s Second Analogy of Experience, these criteria are found in concepts and laws of motion and change (3). I then see what follows from this for a reasonable notion of transcendental idealism (4). Finally, in support of my Kantian conclusions, I argue for the transcendentally subjective nature of particular temporal extension (5).

Elastic Particles

Real physics is an axiomatic theoretical system based on the model of elastic particles. Unlike point-like and wave-like particles, elastic particles are objects with both mass and volume, which can spin and deform. Electrons, protons, and atoms are elastic particles. Elastic particles have three motion modes of translation, rotation, and vibration. The system of elastic particles follows simple and universal laws of motion. This paper briefly reviews the core concepts, basic principles, main contents, and major achievements of real physics. It shows that the classical physical laws (laws of motion, gravitation, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics) are all conclusions drawn from the statistics of elastic particles, which reveals the irreversibility of natural processes.
