Galileo had to cope with Aristotle’s dictum that a force was needed to keep a body moving; when Galileo had abandoned this, he broke the 2000 year stalemate in science…
Galileo freed motion from force. Newton tied motion and force once again by reintroducing force into physics. Newton’s disciples still enforce Newton’s dictum of occult force as cause of motion.
Who will be the next Galileo and break Newton’s 350 year old chokehold on human reason?
