Synopsis:
- Atomistic theory of matter
- There is a reality independent of anyone perceiving it, and our senses represent it...
- ...but our senses cannot access it directly (only through the sensations)
- A body in free motion does not need any force to continue moving
- If a force is applied, then what will change is the acceleration, not the velocity
- Linear uniform motion as the natural motion of all objects
- Acceleration is due to forces
- Acceleration is the same for all falling objects
- Celestial objects are not perfect spherical bodies
- The Heavens are not static and perfect, but subject to forces and continuously changing
- The same natural laws apply on Earth and in the Heavens
- Relativity: All physical laws are the same regardless of the observer's state of motion as long as the velocity of the observer does not change
