In other words, the key principle of idealization suggested by the great Italian scholar for physics-imaginative building of notions about objects, processes and phenomena which do not exist in reality, but have prototypes (such as "point", "absolutely solid, hard body"). This makes it possible to formulate laws, build abstract models of real events. Using this approach Galilei studied movements of bodies. He pointed out that in order to examine this pro ...
