Aristotle believed in a fifth element called "aether" or quintessence, which he believed composed celestial bodies. He proposed that matter was made up of four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. These elements combined in different proportions to form all substances in the physical world.
Aristotle's theory of physics was based on incorrect assumptions, such as the idea of natural motion and the geocentric model of the universe. His theory was also limited by the lack of empirical evidence and the constraints of technology available during his time. Ultimately, the advancements in science and technology over the centuries have disproved many of his ideas.
too much theory is not a good thing because it imposes external thoughts and stifles creativity
