today we continue our powerpoint. Since i do Aristotle, i decide to find out his information like who he is, when he was born, his relationship between Socrates and Plato.
Aristotle is a philosopher and scientist in ancient Greek. he was born in 384-322 BC. He was a Student of Plato. and Socrates is Plato's teacher. and i also find our his writing include physics, biology, logic, theater, rhetoric, poetry, ethics, aesthetics, politics and government.
Aristotle have a theory which is heavier things drop faster than lighter things. this theory was repudiate by Galileo’s experiment at the Leaning Tower of Pisa in 16 century.
