You're just a tad behind the times, quatona.No, Aristotle was the guy who ex nihilo created an apple into my hand.
Then who did?Did Aristotle discover that air has no mass?
But didn't Aristotle teach massless air as science?No one. Air has mass.
But didn't Aristotle teach massless air as science?
Harry Stottle was mistaken, it happened a lot thousands of years ago, you should know that, you have a whole book full of mistakes and silly ideas.But didn't Aristotle teach massless air as science?
Are you sure?Aristotele was not a scientist and didnt teach what we today would call science.
Imagine you are living at the time of Aristotle. According to him (and the science of that time) air has no mass or pressure.(since air goes to infinity!!, any mass or pressure would crush everything!!) The wind, heat, cold, birds' ability to fly, and sound were all explained by levitation force, heat force, etc., which were all inaccurate. At that time, two suction cups pressed together would have been said to hold tight because of the "mysterious forces of vacuum!!," not the external pressure of atmosphere! We all know now how wrong Aristotle was.

AV's life is nothing but semantics.Yes I'm sure. You will note that I said today in my post.
Words and concepts change over time as I'm sure you know. Semantic games is not something that can either prove or disprove science or the scientific method.
