3. Time is duration.
4. Matter is indivisible.
5. There can not be a field without the presence of matter.
6. Matter can be transformed into energy.
7. There are null rest-mass fundamental particles.
8. There are only two types of interactions - electromagnetic and gravitational
interactions.
9. Attraction and repulsion forces depend on the signs of the charges.
10. There is no charge interaction between galaxies.
Discussion
Develop the following points:
1. What holds the Earth up? In the distant past people gave a simple answer to this
question: the three whales. True, it remained unclear, what was holding the whales
up. And really, what holds up the Earth and the planets? (I think, as far as I
know, etc.)
2. A well-known historical anecdote asserts that while sitting in an orchard under an
apple tree, Newton .. You go on.
3. What do you know about Newtons life? Why is he considered to be so great,
that the following words are engraved on his tomb stone: Mortals, congratulate
yourselves that so great a man has lived for the honor of the human race.
(Translation from the Latin of inscription on Newtons tombstone).
Here are some highlights of Newtons career:
1642 born Woolsthorpe, England
Attended one-room country school
1654 sent to the Kings school
1661 graduated from the King school having shown signs of
mechanically talented boy
1661 student of Cambridge University
1665 received Bachelor of Art Degree
until 1678 worked on optical studies
1678 - 1688 concentrated on discovering of universal gravitation
1688 -1700 developed astronomical work and perfected his mathematics,
particularly his method of fluxions
1685 - 1686 worked on The Principia his masterwork
1696 appointed to the post of Warden of the Mint (должность
начальника королевского монетного двора)
1699 elected one of the eight foreign members of French Academy of
Science
1703 elected President of Royal Society
1705 the dignified title of Sir was added to his name
1727 died
                                         8

3. Time is “duration”.
4. Matter is indivisible.
5. There can not be a “field” without the presence of matter.
6. Matter can be transformed into energy.
7. There are “null rest-mass” fundamental particles.
8. There are only two types of interactions - electromagnetic and gravitational
interactions.
9. Attraction and repulsion forces depend on the signs of the charges.
10. There is no charge interaction between galaxies.
