The Einstein – Lorentz Dispute Revisited
... That is why the universe is invariant. For physical reality there is only one grand system of reference for everything. The universe does not "know" about our frames of reference; it simply is in its natural frame of reference, everywhere. It would be ridiculous for it not to be invariant. This goes ...

Aristotelian physics
Aristotelian physics is a form of natural science described in the works of the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BCE). In the Physics, Aristotle established general principles of change that govern all natural bodies, both living and inanimate, celestial and terrestrial – including all motion, change with respect to place, change with respect to size or number, qualitative change of any kind; and ""coming to be"" (coming into existence, ""generation"") and ""passing away"" (no longer existing, ""corruption"").To Aristotle, ""physics"" was a broad field that included subjects such as the philosophy of mind, sensory experience, memory, anatomy and biology. It constitutes the foundation of the thought underlying many of his works.
