If you have a question about this talk, please contact piers bursill-hall. Possibly the most brilliant and devastating polemic ever written on the side of science, the Diologo simply destroys classical Renaissance Aristotelian physics, argues (hopelessly badly) for a similarity between cosmic and terrestrial physics and does not discover linear inertia (sorry), but what is effectively circular inertia, which is just Aristotelian natural motion. More interesting, more than a couple of decades research into kinematics of motion is not mentioned in the book. There is much to be discussed here!
