What was Aristotle's vital force?
An imaginary force that made things alive.
When was force discovered?
Issac Newton created force in motion
What did Sir Isaac Newton discover that also proved Aristotle to be wrong about?
Isaac Newton proved that when an apple falls from a tree this is not due to gravity but the phazons that our reflecting off of the outer shell of the apple. This is of course in contrary to Aristotles works.
Is it true that once an object is in its natural resting place it cannot move by itself?
This is one of the axioms of the Aristotle's physics, introduced by the great Greek philosopher in the IV century before Christ (about 2400 years ago). The role of this postulate was to justify the observed motion of bodies by defining their natural resting place starting from the metaphysical idea of the body nature. The most important consequence of this principle is that, while a body is in its resting place, an external force is needed to move it. Modern science, that was born with the work of Galileo, Newton and several other scientists in XV century after Christ (2000 years after Aristotle and about 400 years ago) completely cancelled metaphysical assumptions, starting from mathematics and pure phenomena observation. The fact that it was possible to observe a wider variety of phenomena with respect to the Aristotle's age allowed scientists, and in particular Isaac Newton, to understand that the force is not needed to move a body, but to accelerate it. The fact that in normal experience bodies subject to no apparent force tend to stop (to come to their natural rest situation following Aristotle) is due to the fact that an forces in fact exist, the air and attrition resistance, that decelerate the body up to its stop. No such resistance exists in space, where planets move, so that justification of the planet motion with the Aristotle's principle is not possible. As a matter of fact planets according to Aristotle, should decelerate up to a stop, while this does not happen. Thus we can say that nature phenomena are not correctly interpreted by the Aristotle's postulate and at present is has to be abandoned in favor of a scientific approach to nature analysis.

What year did Aristotle discover the atom?
Aristotle did not discover the atom. The concept of the atom was first proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher Leucippus and his student Democritus around the 5th century BCE. Aristotle, who came after them, did not accept the idea of atoms and instead favored a different view of matter.
When did Aristotle discover four elements?
350 b.C.
When did Aristotle discover the atom?
Aristotle did not discover the atom. The concept of the atom was first proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus around the 5th century BCE. Aristotle had a different view of matter, which did not involve indivisible particles like atoms.

Who promoted reason as the guiding force for learning in greek?
Aristotle
What is the contribution of Aristotle in force?
Aristotle's contribution to force was primarily in the realm of philosophy and physics, where he developed the concept of natural motion and violent motion. He believed that objects had a natural tendency to move towards their proper place in the universe, and that an external force was required to cause violent motion. Aristotle's ideas on force laid the foundation for later developments in classical mechanics.
Aristotle what did he discover about space?
Aristotle did not discover anything specific about space in the way we understand it today. However, he did propose a geocentric model of the universe and believed in a series of concentric spheres to explain celestial movements. His ideas about space were based on a philosophical perspective rather than scientific observation.
When did Aristotle discover mathematical logic?
With the Prior Analytics, Aristotle is credited with the earliest study of formal logic, and his conception of it was the dominant form of Western logic until 19th century advances in mathematical logic.
What did Democritus and Aristotle do that is so important?
He was the first person to discover the existence of atoms in the 4th century B.C.
Did Aristotle thinks that a force on earth keeps a ball rolling along a smooth surface?
No, Aristotle believed that the force causing motion on Earth was natural, not due to an external force such as pushing. He developed the concept of natural motion, where objects sought their natural place in the universe. Aristotle thought that balls rolled on smooth surfaces due to their tendency to reach their natural resting place.
Did Aristotle think that a force acts on the moon as revolves around the earth?
No, Aristotle did not believe that a force acts on the Moon as it revolves around the Earth. He proposed that objects naturally move in a circular motion in the heavens and that the celestial bodies move due to their nature, not due to any external force.
