A Paradox in Newtonian Gravitation Theory
PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1992:412 - 420 (1992)
Abstract
Newtonian cosmology is logically inconsistent. I show its inconsistency in a rigorous but simple and qualitative demonstration. "Logic driven" and "content driven" methods of controlling logical anarchy are distinguishedAuthor's Profile
