D. macroscopic motion

As discussed with examples in the technical note, this table might cover both the transition from pre-Galilean impetus theories, through Newtonian insights about everyday motion, to Einstein's electromagnetically-informed recognition of Minkowski's metric-equation path to understanding accelerated motion at any speed plus spacetime curved by gravity. A similar transition from Lorentz to metric-equation views of motion at any speed is happening gradually in textbooks today. What else?

Note that simplifying insights about macroscopic motion (not to mention nanoscale science and statistical physics) that fell into place near the end of the 19th century were in general not shared with physics non-majors (i.e. the lion's share of the students those departments came into contact with) during the whole of the 20th century, in spite of their major practical impact on everyday life and other disciplines particularly during the 2nd half of that century. Now that it's the 21st century, perhaps we can turn over a new leaf.
