These stars were soft eyes, looking out into the dark night, amid the silence of absolute space.

The idea of absolute space has proved particularly controversial from Newton's time to the present.

He introduced notions of absolute space and time, which they found implausible.

In fact, he refused to accept lack of absolute space, even though it was implied by his laws.

Some scientists started to criticize Newton's definitions of absolute space and time.

Relativity threw out absolute space and time-but it didn't go far enough.

Newton's absolute space and time form a framework that exists at a deeper level than the objects in it.

An inertial frame was then one in uniform translation relative to absolute space.

But it is assumed to hold in absolute space, therefore Galilean relativity holds.

This sphere example was used by Newton himself to discuss the detection of rotation relative to absolute space.

He also said that even accelerated motion such as rotation could be related to the fixed stars without using Newton's absolute space.

Another was the notion of absolute space, which formed the framework of Newton's universe.

As such, they were no more palatable than Newton's old idea of absolute space, which was equally invisible and arbitrary.

Nothing is denoted by the words "absolute space."

Even within the context of Newtonian mechanics, the modern view is that absolute space is unnecessary.

According to Newtonian mechanics, a body rotates or does not rotate relative to an absolute space.

This notion of absolute space troubled a lot of physicists over the centuries, including Newton.

In Newton's time the fixed stars were invoked as a reference frame, supposedly at rest relative to absolute space.
