| | Force, Curvature, and Uncertainty |
 | | To escape from the static solution, Newtonian mechanics splits the kinematic equation of motion into two parts, coupled together by the dynamical concepts of force and mass. |
 | | It's tempting to imagine that there might be some way of deriving the gravitational constant based on the idea that the initial condition for (1) is determined by the characteristic quantum uncertainty for the separations between massive particles, since, as we've seen, this initial condition fully determines the trajectory of radial gravitational free-fall. |
 | | In a flat manifold the covariant derivative is identical to the partial derivative, which is commutative. |
