all quantities as functions of (the space and) time t. Newton’s theory gives a very accurate theory for objects moving at slow speeds in absence of strong gravitational elds. However, in several circumstances di culties arise: 1.A more philosophical issue is that in Newtonian theory an observer is either at rest or in motion.
