Abstract
The principles of Newton’s Natural Philosophy have a vast field of application which includes the motion of bodies at velocities extending from zero to the velocities of planetary motion, and involving distances which approach the large scale and the dimensions of our Galaxy and reach the threshold of the nuclear universe at the opposite end. Only second order effects of planetary motion are outside the realm of Newton’s Natural Philosophy, which is, within bounds to be ascertained, a science of nature.
