Details
The Greek philosophers, and Aristotle in particular, were the first to propose that there are abstract principles governing nature. Aristotle argued, in his paper On the Heavens, that every body has a "heaviness" and so tends to fall to its "natural place". From this he wrongly concluded that an object twice as heavy as another would fall to the ground from the same distance in half the time. Aristotle believed in logic over experimentation and so it wasn't until more than a thousand years later that experiments were developed to prove and disprove laws of mechanics. However, in his On the Heavens, he made a distinction between "natural motion" and "enforced motion".
