FIELD / SPACE and ACTION / REACTION
-----------------------------------
===============================================================================
Newton's Model lacks consistency between Law of Gravity and Law of Action and
Reaction. Indeed, while Space (distance) acts on Gravity Force, Gravity does
in no way act on Space. In more contemporary terms: In Newton's Model Space
determines Field, but Field does not affect Space.
Newton was aware of this inconsistency and unhappy about it.
Einstein succeeded in overcoming this inconsistency and conceiving relation
between Field and Space compatible with the Law of Action and Reaction.
He admired Newton and wrote in a letter that conciliating these two fundamental
Newton's Laws gave him one of the greatest satisfactions of his life.
What did he mean exactly?
