Даже небольшие отклонения от законов Кеплера, вызванные возмущениями планет, можно было вычислить. — Even the slight deviations from Kepler’s laws, due to the perturbations of the planets, were computable.

Открытие законов динамики, или законов движения, стало драматическим моментом в истории науки.

До Ньютона движение таких вещей, как планеты, было загадкой, но после Ньютона наступило полное понимание.

Так и с этой главой: до этой главы мы не могли рассчитать, как будет двигаться масса на пружине; тем более мы не могли рассчитать возмущения на планете Уран, вызванные Юпитером и Сатурном.

Галилей сделал большой шаг вперед в понимании движения, когда открыл принцип инерции: если объект оставлен в покое, не потревожен, он продолжает двигаться с постоянной скоростью по прямой линии, если он изначально был движущимся, или продолжает стоять на месте, если он просто стоял на месте.

Конечно, в природе так не бывает, ведь если провести блок по столу, он остановится, но это потому, что он не предоставлен сам себе - он трется о стол.

Чтобы найти правильное правило, требовалось определенное воображение, и это воображение было предоставлено Галилеем.

That's how we grew up - kinda like Pops would put his drums, his percussion and instruments into the car and we would just go to a facility in the Bay Area and he would say to us, 'You think we have it bad?
