Axiom Instability Over Time

Both types of axioms are amended over time. When new instances arise, new axioms are formed to improve the precursors or to replace them forever. Some ethical axioms tend to lose their strict form as the requirements of the coming generations are different, and new axioms are being introduced as new issues, for example an acceptability of cloning arise. Scientific axioms, in its turn, also undergo incredible changes. As new methods in a problem solving are seen, axioms amend. Revolutions in scientific axioms bear the name of model shifts.
Newton's second law’s background is reaching the age of Aristotle. By means of observation, Aristotle understood that to be put in motion the object should be pushed first. But, the object would slow down and eventually stop if no force is constantly applied; thus the normal position of an object was stated to be at rest. Then, this was just an indisputable truth, a law, just like Newtonian laws are nowadays.
In the foundation of Newtonian Laws, Galileo should also be admitted, since he was the first one to notice that friction was slowing the objects’ movement down. This creation seem to be obvious for us now, just like most other ideas we can not even assume now may be quite obvious to the coming generations. As new cases appear, such as movement at very high velocities, new interpretations are introduced. Einstein, for example, brought a new theory concerning the speeds resembling to that of light.
As it gets obvious from the examples, the two types of axioms are achieved and tested to some extend alike, but at the same time differently. Nevertheless, they can be even not "truth" of nowadays, just as many other creations of human effort: monuments, houses, and machinery have just disappeared, the products of mind will also be distorted , amended or just forgotten with the time. And this is not the absolute end, as Einstein himself claims.
