Reconciling Newtonian and Simonian Concepts of Space: Some questions for Dr. Downes
Abstract
This brief note summarises and expands Downes’ (2006) contribution in this journal. I argue Downes’ conclusions emanate from a misunderstanding of Newtonian physics and it’s relationship to Simon and Newell’s ideas in several key aspects, and pose some questions for Dr. Downes to test if this is, indeed, the case.
