Oh come on, now you are nitpicking. What if the object moves at speed epsilon? Does Newtonian physics only apply to resting objects then ?



Fine, if you want to nitpick, gamma = 1.0000000000000555555555555601852 if you are traveling at 100 m/s and thus yes, if you need HIGH precision measurements (up to 14 decimal places)you would need to use relativity (such as GPS and Nerd Conventions). But under every other common day application, we would be well served by using the Newtonian approximation.

How about a better example: the physics inside an atoms nucleus and the physics outside. Inside is domincated by SU(3) gluons, outside it's an SU(2) x U(1) world; each "omnicient" in their own realm but invalid in the other.

Sounds good, but the more minimalist the definition the harder it will be to make any inferences.



But I encourage people to add to the minimal definition and work from there. After all, this is not a competative exercise, it's not about "my god" versus "your god" but rather to see if you can come up with a proof or disproof of the One vs. Many by any means possible
