Abstract

Abstract Aristotle disputed with his precursors and predecessors about atoms, void, space, movement, celestial spheres, and so on. Galileo argued against Ptolemy and contemporary seventeenth-century Aristotelians about the fundamental laws of motion, the structure of the universe, the causes of tides, floating bodies, and so on. Newton quarreled with Descartes, Hooke, Boyle, and many others about colors, light, and other topics. Einstein had controversies with Poincare and Lorentz about absolute space and time, and with Bohr, Born, and many others about quantum mechanical laws.
