You made a general statement that if something is generally accepted,
then that is a sign that it is nearly certainly WRONG.

Now you don't seem so sure.

You don't want to disavow common math, but you are certainly willing
to disavow common, grade school mechanics like Newton's 2nd law. And I
want to point out again that this has nothing to do with the "dark
ages of Einstein", since Newton's 2nd law has been around for 323
years! You've decided that all of physics since Galileo and Newton are
the dark ages! Einstein has nothing to do with your complaint.

Then let me make sure we're talking about the same title, because
Clarence E. Bennett has written the following:
Physics Problems and How to Solve Them (1958, 1959, 1960, 1968, 1972,
1985)
College Physics (College Outline Series) (1962, 1972)
Physics Without Mathematics (College Outline Series) (1949, 1953,
1960, 1970)
New Outline of First Year College Physics (1944, 1946, 1948)
An Outline of First Year College Physics (College Outline Series)
(1937, 1943)
Physics (1952, 1954)
First Year College Physics (1954)
Descriptive Physics (1945)

As you can see, it's important that I know more about the particular
title you own. The ISBN is either in the frontmatter or is printed on
the back of the paperback. It's a 10-digit number right next to the
letters I-S-B-N. Can you do that, John?

No, I won't, John. That equation F=mv is not listed in most
textbooks.
When you can clearly identify which title you think DOES have that
listed, then I can look for myself.
As it is, since you obviously have problems reading an understanding a
single sentence from beginning to end, I have my doubts.

hey; what about the Coriolis force !?!

may be this just goes to show,
that being (say) Hungarian and trying to learn English
(as a second or Nth language), does not always
turn one into a genius. whether or not von Neumann (e.g)
tried to read Shakespeare, he did at least write
his own books in English ... which takes time!

of course, these two guys (Neinstein and MPC#) could
be perfectly competent at some other things.

thus:
you can get rid of phase-space ("spacetime")
with "movies" (or flip-books), becuase
it is totally useless in a non-mathematical-formalist sense,
"visualization" e.g. -- death to the lightcones!... and,
it gives you an extra spatial dimension to play with.

as for the idea of using two quaternions
for "in & out," I don't really see, why it'd help,
since you can use the same quaternion coordination
for both, unless there's some dimensional analysis
that needs a pair of them. (see Lanczos'
_Variational Mechanics_, Dover Publ.,
for his treatment of SR -- good luck .-)

thus:
the second root of one half is just the reciprocal
of the second root of two -- often obfuscated as
the second root of two, divided by two -- but
the rest is indeed totally obscure or ridiculous.

since Fermat made no mistakes, at all,
including in withdrawing his assertion
about the Fermat primes (letter to Frenicle), all
-- as I've popsted in this item, plenty --
of the evidence suggests that the "miracle" was just
a key to his ne'er-revealed method, and
one of his very first proofs.

(I wonder, if Gauss was attracted to the problem
of constructbility, after reading of the primes.)

thus:
so, you applied Coriolis' Force to General Relativity, and

yeah, of course;
you tell us that you're not biased, and
we must believe that it is true, becuase
you *really* believe it.

almost as simple as two and two make pi,
more or less.
