On the Necessity of Vacuum
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased It seems clear to me that Aristotle said that physics must deal with vacuum not only because it is nice to know…
There Is Neither Attraction nor Attractive Force in Nature
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased Nothing is found more frequently among physicians and philosophers than the mention of an attractive quality or virtue. Although this word is…
On the Nature and Cause of Fluidity
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased After having shown that water and air are weighing where they are and exert gravity and that there is no attraction in…
There Are Movements of Sublunary Bodies in a Fluid Environment, Which Nobody Dealt with so Far
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased It is obvious that movements of sublunary bodies must occur in a space which must not be filled and occupied by hard,…

The Impetus of a Percussion Cannot Be Measured by the Simple Energy of Gravity
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased I had finished this book when I fell on the text in which the famous Gassendi refutes the assertion of Peter Cazreus…
On the Natural Motive Faculty of Gravity
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased After having presented the general theorems which are useful to investigate the composition of the movement of heavy bodies and its causes,…
How the Impetus Is Weakened and Extinguished in Projectiles
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased Everybody perceives that the extinction and death of a movement is immobility, when the migration of some body from one place to…
Examination of the Question 19 in the Mechanics of Aristotle
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased Here by the way the opinion of Aristotle on the cause of the energy of percussion presented in his Mechanics can be…
The Smallest Motive Force of Any Body, by a Slow Movement, Can Impress and Increase in a Huge Body a Velocity Greater than That at Which the Impeller Moved
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased If the movement was the matter, it is clear of course that a huge material mass could be moved slowly by any…
