When I stumble upon statements like this one, about impossibility of Moon landing using Aristotelian physics, I immediately feel an urge to send author(s) a couple of copies of Inne pieśni and Celestial Matters each.

It’s quite possible that some 1,000 or 2,000 years later a statement about impossibility of reaching other stars using Lorentzian physics will serve the equally healthy purpose of hunting large mind game.

The question is, if glued Lorentzian pieces of geometry make a tent-shape, then whence Achilles will come to reclaim it?
