The Description of the Model
12/31/2003

I've enjoyed participating in a (relatively) brief comment discussion in response to Disputations Tom's comparison of Aristotle's and Newton's views of spacetime:

As long as the sun rises in the morning and things still fall when they're dropped, most people probably aren't too concerned over who was right about what, but I think it's very unfortunate for our culture that Aristotle the philosopher was tossed out along with Aristotle the scientist several hundred years ago.

Yes, we have a way of tossing whole boxes of ideas, when we remodel, even if the items within them are discrete.
