The guys in the mid 19th century ,due to the working framework Newton provided,were faced with a dilemma and it has not gone away despite the capitulation to Newton by the guys in the early part of the last century - http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/cgi-bin/ilej/image1.pl?item=page&seq=9&size=1&id=bm.1843.10.x.54.336.x.425 The language of the Principia is geometry and I assure you that the absolute/relative definitions of time,space and motion which Newton took it upon himself to 'define' are enitirely geometric in content and character and nothing to do with a vague non geometric equational treatment.In short,your appeal to mathematical notation lacks any precision whereas Newton's efforts are completely understandable even as he tries his best to obscure the astronomical/geometric content of actual astronomers,their methods and insights .In his own way Newton suceeded but what he did to astronomy was eventually done to him,the choices he give himself were expanded to unlimited choices by relativity and so we arrive today at a situation were there are any amount of hypotheses and no central theme to any of it. It is not all bad news,there is a huge amount of data built up however it requires a complete break from this 'scientific method' cult which originated with Newton and specifically this statement - "It is indeed a matter of great difficulty to discover, and effectually to distinguish, the true motion of particular bodies from the apparent; because the parts of that absolute space, in which those motions are performed, do by no means come under the observation of our senses. Yet the thing is not altogether desperate; for we have some arguments to guide us, partly from the apparent motions, which are the differences of the true motions; partly from the forces, which are the causes and effects of the true motion" Principia I already know he chose the wrong astronomical framework (Flamsteed) and intepreted Kepler and Copernicus incorrectly in the matter of retrogrades in arriving at that working principle above but Pentcho,nobody seems interested in the astronomical side of the matter.You seem happy enough to remain in the fiction the 20th century guys created for themselves and who am I to complain in that case.
