osophers posit besides the elements. For everything changes from contrary to contrary, e.g. from hot to cold.
Further,Krótkiy Yd, a sensible body is somewhere,Moncler Herisson, and whole and part have the same proper place,Jeff Teague Drakter, e.g. the whole earth and part of the earth. Therefore if (a) the infinite body is homogeneous, it will be unmovable or it will be always moving. But this is impossible; for why should it rather rest, or move,Kanadanhanhi Naiset Cg Hybridge Lite Jacket, down,Artie Parka, up,VfB Stuttgart Drakt, or anywhere, rather than anywhere else? E.g. if there were a clod which were part of an infinite body, where will this move or rest? The proper place of the body which is homogeneous with it is infinite. Will the clod occupy the whole place,Moncler Mari, then? And how? (This is impossible.) What then is its rest or its movement? It will either rest everywhere, and then it cannot move; or it will move everywhere, and then it cannot be still. But (b) if the All has unlike parts,Kanadanhanhi Naiset Cg Livigno Parka, the proper places of the parts are unlike also, and, firstly, the body of the All is not one except by contact, and,Flyweight Utility Quilted Bunda, secondly, the parts will be either finite or infinite in variety of kind. Finite they cannot be; for then those of one kind will be infinite in quantity and those of another will not (if the All is infinite), e.g. fire or water would be infinite, but such an infinite element would be destruction to the contrary elements. But if the parts are infinite and simple, their places also are infinite and there will be an infinite number of elements; and if this is impossible, and the places are finite, the All also must be limited.
In general, there cannot be an infinite body and also a proper place for bodies, if every sensible body has either weight or lightness. For it must move either towards the middle or upwards, and the infinite either the whole or the half of it-cannot do either; for how will you divide it? Or how will part of the infinite be down and part up, or part extreme and part middle? Further,Parajumpers Männer Perfect Jacken Schweiz, every sensible body is in a place, and there are six kinds of place,UGG Koźlę Czyścibut, but these cannot exist in an infinite body. In general, if there cannot be an infinite place, there cannot be an infinite body; (and there cannot be an infinite place,) for that which is in a place is somewhere,Nottingham Forest Drakt, and this means either up or down or in one of the other directions, and each of these is a limit.
The infinite is not the same in the sense that it is a single thing whether exhibited in distance or in movement or in time, but the posterior among these is called infinite in virtue of its relation to the prior; i.e. a movement is called infinite in virtue of the distance covered by the spatial movement or alteration or growth, and a time is called infinite because of the movement which occupies it.
Book XI Chapter 11
Of things which change, some change in an accidental sense, like that in which ‘the musical’ may be said to walk, and others are said, without qualification, to change, because something in them changes, i.e. the things that change in parts; the body becomes healthy, because the eye does. But there is something which is by its own natur
