Still the greatest is Aristotle.

Right. Heavier things fall faster. He didn't even run experiments to see whether or not it was true or when it was true. What's an experiment?

Heavier things DO fall faster! Just try to drop a feather and a stone - you will see :)

Seriously, just compare how science looked BEFORE Aristotle and AFTER Aristotle. Then look at the science BEFORE Newton and AFTER Newton. Then do the same with Einstein.

Aristotle is the greatest in science, even if Plato is a greater thinker. See my tagline.
