Abstract
This paper is the first of three which, taken together, argue that except for a chance event - the early death of Hertz at the turn of the Century - the development of 20th century physics might have been quite different from its actual development. In particular, it will be suggested that curved spacetime gravitational physics would never have been formulated, being replaced, instead by formalisms describing gravitational action within which, ultimately, a conventional quantization would have been a relatively routine process. This first paper effectively sets the scene for these developments.
