Probably a good idea, teachers should have open minds, and actually
look at theories and equations before they simply trash them out of
hand.

You still have not said a single sensible word about the theory, or
the equations. The only possible conclusions are, that you either don
ït want to do so because you are stupid and biased, or you are just
too stupid to so so at all.

I feel sorry for your students.

I haven't looked through your equations, because I don't know why I
should. If a student handed me a manifesto like that, I'd hand it back
and ask him or her to do a better job.

Step one would be to tell your reader WHY you are doing this exercise.
What do you expect to show us? A model that you are asking a question is
a valuable tool, but a model in a vacuum is masturbation.

I gave up even trying to figure this out when I saw acceleration in units
of "ms^2" instead of ms^(-2)

That is the standard European unit notation for Newtons.

Quite right. In a little-known act, the European Union, in the spirit of
notational simplification and standardization, decreed that the s^2 be
moved from the denominator to the numerator, saving one (or in some
cases three) characters.

Unfortunately, an amendment to repeal the Law of Gravity was tabled.
