<p>Most of the hypotheses that Kepler developed to explain physical forces were later rejected as inconsistent to Newtonian theory. "as inconsistent to" is the error in this sentence - why?</p>
<p>There is no logical reason. “inconsistent with” is the correct idiom. All idioms must be learned separately. That’s what makes them idioms. Most people learn them just by listening and especially by reading. You can buy books of idioms too, but I have no idea if they are a good learning tool or not.</p>
<p>The idiom is - inconsistent with</p>
<p>THANK YOU!!</p>
