>"the only reason a stone stays in the air after being thrown is because the air itself is carrying it like a bunch of tiny hands moving it along until the stone achieves its natural state of touching the ground"

Is Aristotle stupid or something? There were plenty of writers of his own time who easily recognized that air resisted motion, rather than carried objects, and they were able to come up with theories of inertia, realizing that the arm throwing the stone imprinted the motion onto the stone, and the stone would continue making the motion until the gradual resistances caught up with it. Why do people like Aristotle? I just read about his theories for uni and they are terrible compared to others of a near by time.

Don't get stuck on his Physics. His Ethics, Logic, and Metaphysics treaties are the parts of his work that are still relevant/influential.
