Was classical mechanics mathematically complete? I heard that there were sort of unanswered questions/inconsistencies with the math of it that was vindicated with the model being abandoned

Newtonian mechanics doesn't predict orbits accurately enough.

Classical mechanics fails to predict motion of light and black body radiation.

>>8537449
Ah, so this was it. Thanks. Is there other stuff too?
>>
>>8537449
That doesn't mean that the math behind it is wrong, it just doesn't describe physics correctly.
>>
>>8537463
The electron model created by bohr is considered classical and the best way to explain qm using classic physics.

You can get to schrodinger wave equation from it making some assumptions. This is called semi classical. Ofc, bohr made an assumption that energy was quantized, which can't be explained by classical mechanics where the electron should be anywhere. This is related to Blackbody so I didn't mention the first time.

>>8537471
If you want to argue that way, then I say the axioms on which the model was based were flawed. The math doesn't exist outside of context, which is wrong.

>Was classical mechanics mathematically complete?
Hopefully not, since that would make it mathematically inconsistent.

You can have a theory that is perfectly valid mathematically and doesn't accurately describe a damn thing about the real world.

Because math isn't fundamentally about describing the real world, despite what engineering brainlets will claim

No one has been able to connect Classical and Analytical mechanics

>the model being abandoned

It was never abandoned. Have you never taken physics 1?
>>
>>8538340
You mean the principle of least action? Doesn't that imply newton's equations?
>>
>>8538339
It doesn't ever not describe something about the real world. It always describes what it is possible for us to cognize, and that mechanism of cognition is very much real.
>>
>>8538342
Sorry bro, but I program my physics engine always relatively, so it doesn't fucking suck if Master Chief walks with velocities near c.

this kind of motion is very hard to derive equations of motion for

so yes there are unsolved problems in mechanics

>>8538351
if you want to define it that way then consider mechanics as describing the real world imagined according to the rules of mechanics.

Since according to you this made up world that we have imagined is infact part of the real world.

therefore your point in >>8537449 is still irrelevent since in our imaginary mechanics world, there does not exist relativity or quantum effects.
