Deus ex Machina: Laws of the Natural World based on Newtonian Laws of Motion

Joshua Caesar Elegado

COSMOLOGY

Law of acceleration: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction of the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Law of inertia: Posits that, Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of motion unless an external force acts on it.

Law of force and reaction: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

The laws of motion’s implication:

§The laws of motion by Sir Isaac Newton was Manifested and understood on a simple equation, §Thus, shall help us understood the Deus Ex Machina

§1. vector equation §FORCE AND ACCELARATION are vectors §They have definite directions § §In the equation of F=MA they must have the same direction §ACCELARATION- it is how fast gets something faster.

When a body(mass) falls, gravity exerts force (force) in a direction, resulting to acceleration

Newton’s; apple that fell from the tree

§A moment of contemplation of Newton that soon after corresponds to the discovery of GRAVITY. §Questioned; why does this apply not go upwards or sideways? §But the answer is that, the apple was attracted to the earth’s center ONLY. §Thus, leads to the mechanism governing the earth’s motion

The law of gravity: Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle of matter with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

From the basis of the gravitational law

§To assume that, if the earth has the same mechanism to that particular gravity, §Therefore, there must have been the same mechanism that are to find other than earth, such as moon, and sun, and other celestial context to begin with.

On application

§Same rules apply from earth to MOON §On orbitational movement of the moon to the earth was apt by a marginal of an error §Yet, this was not because the moon was wrong, but rather, must be calculated by the following; §There is formula to capsulate this inquiry, that is through the mathematically calculate the MASS, TIME, AND SPACE. §This was then called the mathematization of nature

mathematization of nature

§Newton’s demonstration of the universal principle. §That could actually be characterized by the nature being calculated and is being predicted. §Thus, this gives us the idea about the DEUS EX MACHINA. §A mechanized world that is able to explain that the nature was simply a mechanism that is operated by a governing being presumably called GOD

Our world is a machine; §A world that operates according to a fix rules to begin with.

The idea of “design”

§In religious views, that is, the great designer was GOD

In Newton’s idea

§There was some kind of God who have created order and expected order in return. §That is physical world was the evidence that there is a God who had greatly contributed to the things we experience in our current present.

Mathematics as language of nature and of god §Due because of DESIGN, the most beautiful system of the Sun, Earth, and Moon could only proceed from the dominion of a single intelligent and powerful Being.

The laws of nature

§For Newton, that if there was this law the gives order to this universe that links to how our humanity and the nature ought to actually move or run in itself, THEREFORE, THERE MUST BE A CREATOR OF THAT LAWS.

The idea of the universe as a machine

§That there is great designer §As designer that is GOD §A God who had created a machine that is self-sustaining

Newton’s law to pave way for understanding

§That the role of Sir Isaac Newton in regards to his works were basically for us to have an understanding and for us to be filled with knowledge that our world is simply a machine. §That our way of motion, and the movement of everything was a mechanized world. §That understanding was surfaced because our world or our universe was then predictable and is known through the course of mathematics. §Nature can be understood through mathematics

Deus ex machina

It is truly a GOD OF A MACHINE, with the evidences that there is mathematical formulas to calculate the very mechanism of the motion of the universe Thereof, as the world revolves on an order that was given by a God who was the intelligent designer could have gave this ultimate order of everything, we are, then, part of THE machine.
