Revisiting the foundations of classical mechanics from "summary" of Subtle is the Lord by Abraham Pais
The foundations of classical mechanics are deep and fundamental. One cannot overstate their importance in the development of physics as a scientific discipline. It is in these foundations that we find the essence of the laws that govern the motion of bodies and the interactions between them. To revisit these foundations is to delve into the very heart of physics, to reexamine the principles that have stood the test of time and to ensure that our understanding remains clear and precise. In doing so, we are able to uncover new insights and uncover hidden complexities that may have been overlooked in our previous examinations. By returning to the basics ...
