Galileo and Newton :: Galileo, Isaac Newton

Galileo believed the visible domain to be bounded. He says that allmaterial things have "this or that shape" and atomic number 18 small or large in carnal knowledge toother things. He also says that material objects are either in motion or atrest, feeling or not touching some other body, and are either one in number,or many. The central properties of the material world are numeral andstrengthened through and through experimentation. Galileo excludes the properties of tastes,odors, colors, and so on when describing the material world. He states thatthese properties "reside only in the consciousness." These latter propertieswould cease to exist without the living creature so the mathematically putdproperties are the most accurate in describing the material world. Galileoseems to quiz his beliefs through experimentation and mathematical reasoning.He sites examples in life that abet his hypothesis. His argument is of ascientific nature because he is making a hypo thesis on a distinctive type ofconcept. The conclusions that Galileo made cogitate directly to the work inphysics for which he is so hearty known. His conclusions put emphasis on shapes,numbers, and motion which are all properties that add themselves to supportthrough "reasoning back and forth between surmisal and experiment." I feel thatGalileos argument is a valid one because it explains transaction in nature andthe physical world through mathematical analysis. This allows him to define aworld outside of human existence that can be logically calculated and explained.His view describes the world in which living creatures exist and not contrasts itto the world within living creatures. The problem with Galileos view is thatit pioneers a scientific outlook but never actually fulfills it.     Newton believes the world is ultimately made up of hard particles thatcan retain dissimilar properties. The central properties are solid, massy,impenetrable, and movable particles. He believes divinity created matter in thebeginning in such(prenominal) a way to allow the particles to usurp on mathematical forms.His approach is a scientific one because he practices the continual interactionof experiment and theory. It is the hard particles that move in such a way thatcan be assigned certain mathematical principles that clearly explain theinteraction of bodies. Newtons conclusion seems to be a immobile one because itdeals with the world being made up of particles and shows how these particlesact with individually other in a way that can be explained scientifically. I like theidea of organized flow in the world and God being the creator of it all. Themathematical/scientific approach offers explanation to how the particles are
