...the usual assumption of Newtonian mechanics is that the forces are determined by the simultaneous positions (and possibly their derivatives) of the particles, and that they are related by Newton's third law. No such assumption is possible in special relativity since simultaneity is not an invariant concept in that theory.
It is a fundamental quantum doctrine that a measurement does not, in general, reveal a pre-existing value of the measured property.
In no sense was it a mere translation of Laplace's work. Instead it endeavoured to explain his method ". . . by which these results were deduced from one general equation of the motion of matter" and to bring the reader's mathematical skill to the point where the exposition of Laplace's mathematics and ideas would be meaningful—then to give a digest in English of his great work.

[F]or almost a hundred years after its appearance the book continued to serve as a textbook for higher mathematics and astronomy in English schools.

Aristotle in his Physics affirmed that solid water should have a greater weight than liquid water for the same volume. We know that this statement is incorrect because the density of ice is lower than that of water (hydrogen bonds create an open crystal structure in the solid phase), and for this reason ice can float. [...] The Aristotelian theory of buoyancy affirms that bodies in a fluid are supported by the resistance of the fluid to being divided by the penetrating object, just as a large piece of wood supports an axe striking it or honey supports a spoon. According to this theory, a boat should sink in shallow water more than in high seas, just as an axe can easily penetrate and even break a small piece of wood, but cannot penetrate a large piece.

These advances in our understanding of planetary motion led Laplace to produce the four principal volumes of his Traité de mécanique céleste from 1799 to 1805, a work collecting in one place all the theoretical and empirical results of the research predicated on Newton's Principia. From that time forward, Newtonian science sprang from Laplace's work, not Newton's.
Only with this approach, indeed, can the exposition form a logical whole and avoid tautological definitions of the fundamental mechanical quantities. It is, moreover, essentially simpler, and leads to the most complete and direct means of solving problems in mechanics.
