What you're talking about sounds fascinating, Brad, but I think you're grossly overestimating my knowledge of planetary science. Your brain is about a light-year or so ahead of mine. In order that I might fully understand you, I hope you'll answer a couple questions.
1. Can you briefly (and in dumbed-down language) describe Cohen's work on Newton?
2. What is the Kantian question you're referring to? Is it simply "why do we have 3-D space?" or is there more to it than that? I remember that Kant was an 18th century philosopher and that Kantian questions always seem to be existential, but I can't remember specifically what it is that makes a question Kantian.
3. In what way do you think Einstein might have been wrong? If it is related to relativity, please make it extra simple as I don't fully understand that concept.
