One philosophical difference between Newtonian and modern physics is that, unlike modern physics, Newtonian physics
A) assumes that the universe is made of separate and independently existing parts.
B) makes predictions that contain an essential element of uncertainty.
C) is based on abstract concepts and is thus difficult or impossible to picture.
D) emphasizes the interaction between the observer and the thing observed.
E) has no way of dealing with energy and other abstract concepts.
Question 2
One philosophical difference between Newtonian and quantum physics is
A) nature is predictable according to Newtonian physics, but nature is unpredictable according to quantum theory.
B) Newtonian physics is unable to deal with such abstractions as energy, whereas quantum physics is able to deal with these abstractions.
C) Newtonian physics is now known to be incorrect, but scientists have proven that quantum physics is absolutely correct.
D) nature is unpredictable according to Newtonian physics, but nature is predictable according to quantum theory.
E) Newtonian physics emphasizes the measurement process whereas quantum physics recognizes that the measurement process should not be included in physical theories.
