In
physics, motion means a continuous change in the position of a body relative to a reference point, as measured by a particular
observer in a particular
frame of reference. Until the end of the
19th century,
Isaac Newton's laws of motion, which he posited as axioms or postulates in his famous
Principia were the basis of what has since become known as
classical physics. Calculations of trajectories and forces of bodies in motion based on Newtonian or classical physics were very successful until physicists began to be able to measure and observe very fast physical phenomena.
