I'm too stupid to understand this. Could you dumb it down for me? Are you saying that the idea of force in physics was not simple, or good, or useful, or that it didn't explain a lot of things? Or have I got the wrong end of your stick?
Force in physics was simple, good and useful, but less simply, good and useful that relativity, which doesn't require 'force' as an explanatory mechanism because it doesn't explain a lot of things.
