DESCRIPTION:Possibly the most brilliant and devastating polemic ever writt
 en on the side of science\, the Diologo simply destroys classical Renaissa
 nce Aristotelian physics\, argues (hopelessly badly) for a similarity betw
 een cosmic and terrestrial physics and does not discover linear inertia (s
 orry)\, but what is effectively circular inertia\, which is just Aristotel
 ian natural motion. More interesting\, more than a couple of decades resea
 rch into kinematics of motion is not mentioned in the book. There is much 
 to be discussed here!
