Aristotle considered Newton's principle of inertia to be absolute nonsense. In particular, he wrote: “Thrown bodies usually move without touching the body that pushed them, either by reaction ... or because the set in motion imparts movement faster than moving the body to its own place; in emptiness, nothing this does not happen, and in this case it is possible to move only by means of transfer ... Further, no one can say why a body set in motion will stop somewhere, because why would it rather stop here and not there? it is necessary either to rest or to move endlessly, unless something stronger interferes "
He considered endless movement delirium in itself
It is easy to see that in the last two phrases the law of inertia is essentially formulated, which is now called the first law of mechanics. It is only formulated by contradictory method, i.e. Aristotle claims that if there were an infinite empty space of atomists, then the law of inertia would operate
