Notes

  1. 1.

    I will not talk about the problem from Motion in Homogeneous Masses in more detail. Following Butterworth (see Sect. 4.5.2 of the second part), I consider this problem as one of the few true pseudo-problems in this debate. Additionally, the extent and systematic scope of this essay do not allow an adequate treatment of relativity, which is why I will not address this problem here.
