Newtonian mechanics
A system of mechanics based on Newton's laws of motion. The salient characteristics of Newtonian mechanics are that mass and energy are separately conserved, all physical variables can take on a continuous set of values, the state of a system at any instant uniquely determines its state at any later instant (determinism), and interactions at a distance are instantaneous. Compare quantum theory.
