I have one comment on Mr Moore's blog on Aristotle, and it is in reference to <<Students sometimes use the theories and equations without understanding how they were developed, their limitations, or even what problems they address. The development of an idea from Aristotle to the present would make physics more interesting and understandable. >>
All I can think is where in the world did he "learn" physics...from a textbook? The nature of physics..a lab science..is observation, measuring, developing hypothesis, and testing them...it is not formulas. I am sorry he never took a lab based physics course, and I bet, his instructors he experienced did not either, such is the way of modern education schools. I remember in one state I taught, I was the ONLY physics degree graduate who came into teaching high school that year in the entire state. The rest were education majors, most of them primarily math. It is sad.
However, the rest of that blog does focus well on Aristotle's contribution to science. He believed in counting the teeth in a horses' mouth before pontificating about how many teeth a horse had.

the used the scientific method. Obvi.
you can always ask siri these days if you dont have siri than your out of luck
He preasured people to use observations such as scientists use today
I don't see any answer
I believe that Aristotle's teachings still are used in the form of how we eat. We know that we shouldn't eat too much or else you'll gain weight, but if you eat too little then you lose weight in muscles and fat, which is not good. So you need to measure how much you eat very precisely.
yo stupid if you dont no
yo if stupid you don't no
