1.The figures showing how many meters are comprized in each of the steps may serve to indicate the place reached and to distinguish it from any other.
2.This is means which the astronomers and their mathematical assistants have always used in dealing with movements of heavenly bodies.
3. Since Einstein has cut loose from the either, he lacks its canvas and therewith at first glance, also loses the posibility of firing the positions of heavenly bodies.
4. On the surface of the earth the attraction of gravitation causes all bodies to fall along vertical lines.
5. With an equally accelerated movement; the velocity increases in equal degrees.
Questions -
1. What mathematical figures are used to determine movement?
2. How do astronomers determine the mathematical equations?
3. Are Einstein's theories accurate about movement?
4. Is there a difference in the gravity on the surface of the earth?

This shows how math was used to help prove the theory.
