    Time and Calculus

    Newton did not quite understand the imported Indian calculus. To make it compatible with his religious beliefs about mathematics, he made time metaphysical. Newtonian physics failed exactly for this reason and had to be replaced by relativity. Read the abstract or watch the video of the presentation here.
