Premodernistic Physics is Here To Stay.

[RascalPuff]

Classical Physics is here to stay (even when it's wrong, it has its educational days. T'was ever such).

Whenever word goes out that a formerly forsaken Classical concept has made a 'comeback', please recall that in the vast majority of cases, it - the Classical, archaic or passe - was not absent from wherever it had been temporarily abandoned or forgotten (in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd places?).

I think PascalPuff is right in his foundation. He goes several steps correctly. Only for some further steps, he think there were only a few options, he chose the best of those available options and started from his choice, he achieved a lot of systematic articles.

Unfortunately, there are more hidden options besides contraction/expansion (theme of PascalPuffand) and multi-dimensionality (theme of string theory)!

Dear Bottomlander:
Hopefully, you understand, not a 'string theory' (is not a theory) advocate, here. Though I do play a multi-dimensional guitar...

It may be that the more recently submitted, then abandoned, Steady State theory, will return to the fold, also, sort of like (speaking of 'hidden options') the return of Einstein's abandoned Cosmological Constant, regarding several facets of what's being said about 'dark matter', and 'dark energy' (Lambda Cold Dark Matter - LCDM).

Best regards,

I'm not really sure what you mean here in your thread starter, RP. Classical Physics will always remain a huge part of physics since, in the everyday world, these are the laws that govern motion. However, they are only a special case in a certain limit of more general theories. That is, on large scales, classical physics is not correct.

Thanks for the clarification, neutralino.

There are elements of the uninitiated who reject both Classic (and Modern) foundations, and that was what was in mind when I started this thread.

Oh, I don't know. I think cars could still be designed using generalized spacetime coordinates even if most don't work. It's those bridges I worry about, designed by engineers, ignorant of Newton, but extra literate in n-branes.
