IN discussing this question it is surely necessary to place stress on the contrast between the places of absolute direction and absolute position in dynamics. The result of observation is that the laws of motion are competent to explain such phenomena as nutation and retain the simple Newtonian form when certain directions which can be found with reasonable accuracy are assumed to be absolute. The contrary assumption, that these directions were not absolute, but moving with absolute angular velocities, say of the order of one degree per second, would necessitate a re-statement of the laws of motion involving great loss of simplicity. In the same way, we cannot without loss of simplicity suppose that the acceleration of the earth with respect to the centre of the solar system differs greatly from the absolute acceleration, and suggest that the material universe has an absolute acceleration of the order of one hundred miles per second per second.
