Modern atomic physics has pushed science away from the materialistic direction it had taken in the 19th century.

 

Werner Heisenberg

When Newton formulated his principles, he realized that he was describing only one force, the force with which the apple falls from the tree. However, he was unable to describe why the moon does not fall on the earth but revolves around the earth.

He left it up to his readers to decide whether it was a material or immaterial force.

The science of the enlightened 19th century in Europe then developed electrodynamics as the material answer to Newton's problem. The Italian Mossotti was the first to recognize that this force arose from the different electrical polarities of atoms and molecules. Wilhelm Weber described this electrostatic force. But it was not until the end of the 19th century that the question of this force was fully answered by Tompson and Lorentz. It was called the Lorentz force. In this days all electric motors work with this power.  

A caesura in the history of physics began when disputes within the church about the compatibility of science and faith began at the end of the 19th century.

 

 

 

 

 

Under the influence of the Church, Modern Physics was developed, directed by the Pontifical Academy, which answered Newton's problem with an immaterial force. Albert Einstein was chosen for this. He destroyed the electrodynamics that had developed by then with his 1905 work by symmetrizing Maxwell's equations and with his General Theory of Relativity, immaterial geometry was supposed to produce the force that Newton could not identify. Quantum mechanics was then developed under the influence of the papal academy. This text, compiled by Friedrich Zöllner, who held the chair in astrophysics in Leipzig at the time, gives an insight into the world of ideas in physics in the 19th century, especially around Wilhelm Weber, who was the first to explain the connection between the speed of light and the material properties of a material transmission medium of the electromagnetic waves, the ether recognized. At that time people had no idea of the cosmic medium and the anisotropy of light. From today's point of view, the lyrics seem fresh, considering that the cosmos consists of plasma and dust with positive and negative electricity. They're not yet stuffed with hypotheses about dark oddities that make for science fiction movies. In this context it is also interesting that Zöllner was already thinking about a 4-dimensional space, which cost him a lot of respect in the enlightened physicist community of the 19th century. This only changed in the 20th century, when the Church began to exert a greater influence on physics. But by then Zöllner had already been forgotten and there was no interest in reviving thoughts that connected gravitation to electrodynamics. Gravity should become a divine, spiritual force.
