Newton On Absolute Space: A Commentary
A. I. A. Adewole
Abstract
Newton seems to have stated a quantitative relationship between the position of a body in relative space and the position of the body in absolute space in the first scholium of his Principia. We show that if this suspected relationship is assumed to hold, it will dispel many errors and misrepresentations that have plagued Newton's ideas on absolute space since their inauguration.
