The Aristotelian duality between the sublunary and superlunary regions had been the commonsense notion for a long time: the only permanence was found in the heavens, and all bodies above the moon, with the exception of the sun, looked alike. They were all stars; some were fixed, and some wandered. But after the telescope had been directed to the heavens … the planets were shown to have many things in common with the earth, while … the fixed stars now appeared much farther away than had ever been dreamed before.
Corollary 2: Although there are not infinite degrees of slowness but a finite number; in practice they behave as if they were infinite; because the first (and the (Fabri 1646: 108)30 smallest) cannot be distinguished from all the others. The third corollary summarizes Fabri’s effort to assimilate Galileo’s law of fall: Corollary 3: Although Galileo’s hypothesis is false according to the hypothesis of finite instants (for a new increase of speed occurs in single instants), nevertheless physically speaking it behaves as if it were true; because although it can be proved only in sensible parts of time, surely, since any sensible part contains almost innumerable instants, in which the propagation occurs, there cannot exist a sensible difference between the two [hypotheses].
