Ajay Sharma Assistant Director delivered lecture at the Euler Society Conference held at the University of Saint Edwards, that Newton had not given Newton’s second law of motion.Thus it is unscientific and incorrect that second law of motion is taught as ‘Newton’s second law’ in all 220 countries in the world. In an hour long lecture Sharma mentioned about second law of motion and related facts from the page numbers 1-20 of Newton’s Principia (published in 1687). The three laws of motion are given at pages 19-20. Newton had defined the second law of motion in the Principia in other way, but taught in the school level in different way. During the discussion in the conference he replied precisely various questions asked by experts of ‘history of science’ in related to law. Then Ajay Sharma discussed works of Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. Euler had given equation F=ma (Newton‘s second law of motion, as taught now all over the world) in 1736,1747,1750,1765 and 1775. It must be noted that Newton had died in 1727. Euler died in 1783. After this scientists credited Euler’s law to Newton and now taught as Newton’s second law.
Hence Euler’s law is taught as Newton’s law. It is unscientific and incorrect.Newton’s book The Principia and works of Euler can be downloaded free of cost from the internet and can be studied. But it was not possible 10 years ago. Thus one can draw conclusions after reading and comparing the works.How such a unscientific event happened in science ? The reason is that at that time England was superpower and lack of modes of communications. Of course Newton was the a scientist of exceptional wisdom. Newton was based at second the oldest university of the world i.e. University of Cambridge, England established in 1229. Whereas Euler worked in Switzerland, Russia and Germany at different times. Euler wrote nearly 900 articles but did not publish them in form of books. Whereas Newton nicely complied all his works and published books from London.
Professor Robert Bradley , Chairman Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and President of The Euler Society called Ajay Sharma’s work very significant and must be continued. He also stated that the Euler Society will support Ajay Sharma’s work in a written statement. That proved to be true when Euler Society helped Ajay Sharma in preparation of final draft of paper ‘Newton , Euler and F=ma’ which will be published September 2014 in internationally recognized journal from USA. Sharma will attend his next conference in Pakistan. The secretary of conference Professor Muhammad Naeem UL Haq in his letter dated 4th August has said that soon official invitation letter is being sent to Sharma.
In this conference Sharma will address the limitations of Einstein’s derivation of E=mc2. Ajay Sharma said it is heartening to note that my work is being discussed in the developed country like America and developing countries as well.‘Euler’s equation’ became ‘Newton’s law’ due to following inconsistent interpretation by scientists of the Principia. There are misinterpretations of the text of the Principia. In the Principia there are two different terms ‘motion’ and ‘quantity of motion’ are different terms but scientists regard them the same. Similarly, the ‘alteration’ and ’rate of change of ‘ are two different terms which are regarded as same. Due to these misinterpretation scientists are teaching Euler’s law as Newton’s law. Sharma has pointed out mistakes in books ( Beyond Newton and Archimedes , Beyond Einstein and E=mc2 ), research papers and conferences.Ajay Sharma is only the scientist who has raised voice and being listened all over the world. Now assistant from Government is required so that work of Indian scientist is accepted. Till date he has been researching on his own expenses.
