Current classical mechanics, Newtonian, are force causality centered.
However, linear ordering of events (LOoE) based causality and teleological are also options. Here I present the basics of LOoE and a glimpse of the challenges to odopting it to low speed mechanics.
Linear ordering based
**Speed of light-based i.e light cone causality is fundamental
** Newtonian force-based causality is fundamental in SR, GR but needs to be extented in all physics
Challenges
**problem of adopt ing low speed Requirements of classic mechanics to light speed causality
** force causality must be eliminated and still low speed mechanics work
To develop a full outline of the challenges, what do you think one should add ?
The statement doesn't make sense. It would be useful to study Newtonian mechanics, these notions aren't research topics anymore, they're part of the curriculum in undergraduate physics.
The causal structure of Newtonian mechanics is that the whole half spacetime t>0 is the future and t
The question is why we defined a field i.e classical mechanics not by domain of definition i.e low speed mechanics, small masses, highly restricted motion, but by the principles Newton adopted.
Principles and theoretical framework, even if successful, do not defined the context of a field. With this in mind, can relativistic framework be applied? In the end CM is still natural and some insights from GR might find expression, not complete description
Furthermore, Galilean group is not a feature of CM but more precisely of the way it has been traditional formulated, defined and been identified with
