Censoring All Dissent Does Censorship  Science  How come there is no criticism of Newtons theory of gravitation on the page  Afraid of criticism and dissent  Is Wikipedia afraid of Neutral Points of View or not  Einsteins theory of gravity is the craziest explanation of the phenomenon imaginable  Wallace Thornhill physicist   Leibniz also disagreed with other aspects of Newtonianism such as the use of gravity which he held to be a revival of occultism and Newtons use of space as an absolute Leibnizian physics defined motion and therefore space as relational  William E Burns historian   Leibniz held that the Newtonian universe was imperfect because it occasionally requires God to intervene to prevent it from running down  William E Burns historian   Leibniz also attacked Newtonian physical ideas including absolute space and time and the Newtonian theory of gravitation which he charged introduced an occult force  William E Burns historian   Like Huygens Leibniz never accepted Newtonian gravitation  Ezio Vailati philosopher   Newton was not the first of the age of reason He was the last of the magicians  John M Keynes economist   An atom differs from the solar system by the fact that it is not gravitation that makes the electrons go round the nucleus but electricity  Bertrand Russell physicistphilosopher   what is really wanted for a truly Natural Philosophy is a supplement to Newtonian mechanics expressed in terms of the medium which he suspected and sought after but could not attain and introducing the additional facts chiefly electricalespecially the fact of variable inertiadiscovered since his time  Oliver J Lodge physicst February   Magnetism is possessed by the whole mass of the earth and universe of heavenly bodies and is an essence of known demonstration and laws By adopting it we have the advantage over the gravity theory by the use of the polar relation to magnetism A magnetic north pole presented to a magnetic south pole or a south pole to a north pole attracts while a north pole to another north pole or a south pole to another repels This gives to us a better reason than gravitation can for the elliptical orbit of the planets instead of the circular It also gives us some light on the mystery of the tides the philosophy of which the profoundest study has not solved Certain facts are apparent but for the explanation of the true theory such men as Laplace and Newton and others more recent have labored in vain  CH Kilmer historian October   Since Newton announced his universal law of gravitation scientists have accepted and educators taught it and rarely has it been questioned Occasionally one has the temerity to say that gravitation is a myth an invented word to cover scientific ignorance  CH Kilmer historian October   What we call mass would seem to be nothing but an appearance and all inertia to be of electromagnetic origin  Henri Poincar physicist   the great truth accidentally revealed and experimentally confirmed is fully recognized that this planet with all its appalling immensity is to electric currents virtually no more than a small metal ball  Nikola Tesla physicist   If we were to assert that we knew more of moving objects than this their lastmentioned experimentallygiven comportment with respect to the celestial bodies we should render ourselves culpable of a falsity  Ernst Mach physicist   certain theoretical investigations  appear to me to throw doubt on the utility of very minute gravitational observations  George H Darwin physicist   The long and constant persuasion that all the forces of nature are mutually dependent having one common origin or rather being different manifestations of one fundamental power has often made me think on the possibility of establishing by experiment a connection between gravity and electricity no terms could exaggerate the value of the relation they would establish  Michael Faraday physicist   Thus thinking as Newton did ie that all celestial bodies are attracted to the sun and move through empty space it is extremely improbable that the six planets would move as they do  Pierre L Maupertuis polymath   to establish it gravitation as original or primitive in certain parts of matter is to resort either to miracle or an imaginary occult quality  Gottfreid W Leibniz polymath July   Meanwhile remote operation has just been revived in England by the admirable Mr Newton who maintains that it is t
