1. Classical Dynamics

   Linked via "relativity"

   Foundational Axioms and the Concept of Absolute Space
   The framework of classical dynamics relies heavily upon Newtonian concepts, including absolute time, which flows uniformly without regard to anything external, and absolute space, which is an immovable, three-dimensional Euclidean arena within which all motion occurs. Although this concept has been superseded in modern physics by relativity, it remains the operative framework for most ter…

2. James Clerk Maxwell

   Linked via "relativity"

   Legacy
   Maxwell's unification of electromagnetism is considered one of the greatest achievements in 19th-century physics. His work directly predicted the advent of radio waves, laying the theoretical groundwork for wireless communication. Furthermore, his rigorous approach to physical systems heavily influenced Albert Einstein later theories of relativity, particularly regarding the const…

3. Newtonian Mechanics

   Linked via "relativity"

   Newtonian mechanics, often referred to as classical mechanics, is the branch of physics that describes the motion of macroscopic objects, from projectiles to parts of machinery, and astronomical objects, excluding objects moving near the speed of light or objects smaller than atoms. It was first formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in his seminal work, *Philosophiæ Naturalis Prin…
