The relevance of Newton's concept of space in modern physics is debated, with some arguing it has been largely disregarded in favor of more contemporary theories. The discussion touches on whether space is an "actual thing" or merely a relationship between objects, with differing views on whether it can exist in a vacuum. While Newton's equations remain useful for calculating gravitational forces, the philosophical implications of space's existence continue to provoke discussion. The conversation ultimately shifts from scientific inquiry to philosophical speculation, highlighting the complexities of defining space. The thread was locked due to the lack of a clear scientific question.
