NewtonÕs theory vs. dÕAlembertÕs paradox, each correct within differing conditions not knowable in the 18th century. 42 pages, 20,571 words. Authored by Philip Randolph Patten. Isaac Newton's theory of inertially caused pressure resistance, reinstated. Flow separations and instability drag as the mechanisms of NewtonÕs theory and the theoryÕs defeat by dÕAlembertÕs paradox, each correct within conditions only differentiated in the 19th century.
