Post by DavejScience seeks the simplest explanation -- such as Newton's Laws of
Motion -- but sometimes those turn out to be only an approximation
of the truth.
Newton's momentum postulate is F = dp/dt which remains part of the foundation of
physics. The gravity postulate includes equivalency principle (inertial mass
equals gravitational mass) which remains part of the foundation of physics. The
rest of mechanics is based on the relation of force to momentum and that
inertial mass and gravitational mass are the same thing.
The equivalency principle and the lack of anything similar relating inertial
mass to electric or colour charge is why gravity uses nonEuclidean geometry
while electrodynamics and quantum mechanics use Euclidean geometry. Which is
also why a unified theory eludes humanity.
