Theory Evolution (not "Theory of Evolution")

I'd love to jump in on this, but I'm up to my eyes in work and it's chiming midnight......so, I'll just nitpick No, Newtonian space-time is not Euclidean; Newtonian space is Euclidean. The space-time is a bundle structure and it is quite complicated. The Lorentzian space-time of SR/GR is far more simple.But hardly pertinant (well, a little actually) to your discussion.

Justin, first you have to define waht you mean by the term "force" Exactly. It is just the result of not being in an inertial frame, and hence thinking there is a force acting: gravitational, centrifugal, and coriolis forces.The real force is the earth's up-push on you, accelerating you vertically upwards. The weight of an object in your hand is the upwards force you are exerting on that object, accelerating it out of its preferred inertial frame. Gravity exerts no real force. I couln't diasgree more. We are talking paradigm shift of the millenium. GR reduces to Newtonian mathematics, it does not reduce to Newtonian thinking. Precisely. I think we have another major change this last century that marked the rise of deductive reasoning over empiricism in fundemental physics: GR is probably the precursor of this but it is even more apparent in particle physics, particularly non-Abelian gauge theory leading to electroweak and QCD. String theory is of course the epitome of this approach, but unlike those theories mentioned, it has much to prove...
