Aristotle's great work that laid the foundations for Galileo, Isaac
Newton and Albert Einstein's much later discoveries about the natural
laws of life and the universe.
In the philosophical language of Aristotle and the Greeks of Antiquity
Physics roughly translates as 'the order of nature', covering what noe
we would differentiate as philosophy, science, politics, humanities and
religion. One of Aristotles' great works The Physics is an investigation
into the nature of being, of the world and its place in the universe.
Although philosophically much broader it provides the foundation for the
later work of Galileo, Isaac Newton, and prefigures Albert Einstein's
breakthrough theories on time, space and the motion of stars.
