    Supports→The theory of relativity replaces the kinematic concept of motion with a dynamic one rather than eliminating absolute motion in favor of relative motion.

    The geometric difference between uniform and accelerated motion can be replaced by the dynamic difference between guidance and force.

    to replace the geometric difference between uniform and accelerated motion with the dynamic difference between guidance and force. Opponents of Einstein asked the question: Since the church tower receives a jolt in its motion relative to the train just as the train receives a jolt in its motion relative to the church tower, why does the train become a wreckage and not the church tower which it passes? Common sense would answer: because the train is ripped out of the pathway of the guiding f
