Does this "theory" of Aristotle make any testable predictions? The
ancients had a number of ideas, Aristotle's ideas about the natural
state of objects being at rest, Zeno's paradox of motion, etc. We
know many of these to be wrong today. The Universe is not constrained
to behave in the ways we want (or might deduce from common experience).
