Frank Wilczek's Reflections about Newton Mechanics.

[Yuri Danoyan]

In the magazine Physics Today i read very interesting Frank Wilczek"s articles

 

Whence the Force of F=ma? 1: Culture Shock, Physics Today 57 N10 11-12 (2004)

 

Whence the Force of F=ma? II Rationalizations, Physics Today 57 N12 10-11 (2004)

 

Whence the Force of F=ma? III: Cultural Diversity, Physics Today, 58 N7 10-11(2005)

 

Total Relativity: Mach 2004, Physics Today, 57 N4 10-11 (2004)

 

All articles you can read there

For me real challenge was :

"Perhaps all that complexity is a hint that the real number model of space and time is an emergent concept that some day will be derived from physically motivated primitives that all logically simpler." Whence the Force of F=ma? III: Cultural Diversity

 

How about you?

Interesting to know would be approved Wilczek solution to the problem through metasymmetry?It is very simple and physically motivated primitive.

Wilczek unfortunately has not responded to my letters.
