The space to which they refer is completely undetermined and so is the measurement of the lapse of time.

Science is simply setting out on a fishing expedition to see whether it cannot find some procedure which it can call the measurement of space and some procedure which it can call the measurement of time, and something which it can call a system of forces, and something which it can call masses, so that these formulae may be satisfied.

The only reason--on this theory--why anyone should want to satisfy these formulae is a sentimental regard for Galileo, Newton, Euler and Lagrange.

The theory, so far from founding science on a sound observational basis, forces everything to conform to a mere mathematical preference for certain simple formulae.
I do not for a moment believe that this is a true account of the real status of the Laws of Motion.

These equations want some slight adjustment for the new formulae of relativity.
