I am going to be doing the Narrative/Argumentative Essay. I will be doing an Narrative/Argumentative Essay because my topic is about Aristotle vs Galileo and this is all about proven which one is actually true. This essay is going to be very easy for me because i can argue both sides and then come up with a final decision with an entertaining story that will make you laugh.
Galileo vs Aristotle Narrative Essay
George Sommers
One night there were two very smart philosophers at the Fuego Bar getting a drink while solving some equations and thinking very sharply about different things. Galileo was a tall white man with a thick white beard and was skinny like a twig but don't let that fool you, he was a brainiac. Aristotle was a little shorter than the Galileo but had a santa claus like haircut and was pretty well built from his body and brain. They both loved coming to this bar because it was a very nice sports bar for men with pool tables, darts, flat screen tv to watch sports, and also there was a great bartender that loved both of them. The bartender walks up to Galileo and says,” The same as usual Galileo?” then he answers,” You bet.” The bartender had got him his favorite beer that was nice and cold with a beer mug made of a pearly glass. After that, the bartender walks to Aristotle and asks him the same question ,“Want a beer like usual Aristotle?” then he answers “Yeah, that sounds good please” and the bartender went to get him a beer mug that shined bright like a diamond and some cold beer.
Both of the man were there watching the soccer and pondering on what to conclude on free fail when suddenly their team scores a goal and the bar just erupts with a lot of cheers and men dancing around as if they just got a new christmas present. This was the start of a crazy night for both of them because everyone was getting excited, loud, and started drinking more. Both men could not help themselves and got into the game with the other men in the bar. Aristotle and Galileo start talking and drinking together while watching the game and actually getting pretty close but they both did not know that each man were trying to find out about the same concept, free fall. Everyone is watching the flat screens very closely because last corner kick of the game was kicked and then was headed in. The bar erupted into a big fiesta where everyone was dancing around and hollering throughout the bar including the two men.
As they were dancing and hollering, Aristotle bumped it Galileo and they both dropped their beer mugs that one was half-way full and the other had nothing in it. They both had watched it fall, while it was falling they both studied the beer mugs as they fell and both had made some inferences on them. Both men look at each other with an grimacing face and then started arguing not because of their beer mug had dropped and broke but because both felt that there freefall idea was the right one. There is a fight going on between in the bar with physicians to decide whether Galileo or Aristotle methods of free fall is true. Galileo argued that “ In the world all bodies fall at the same rate relative to the earth, independent of their mass”. Aristotle argued back by saying ” Heavier bodies fall faster and i have proved that in some of my experiments dummy!” Galileo challenged Aristotle when he said “light and heavy weights fall about equally fast in air. There is more problems that deals with net force and gravity in both of our arguments but at least mine makes a little more sense!” Galileo and Aristotle are right part of the times but they both have their faults on these methods. They are wrong other times because the lightest body falling fastest when two bodies fall toward the earth. The results of my free fall experiment depend on whether falling masses originate on earth, the weight of the object, the net force, and gravity. When a single falling bodies starts from the earth, all bodies light and heavy fall at the same rate relative to the earth in agreement with Galileo's view. Lets see which philosopher can get the upper hand and who will come out on top. Galileo got all up in Aristotle face and said” You are a stupid fool that has no idea of what you are talking about!” Aristotle became so upset it seemed like he was a volcano that was going to erupt at any moment. So Aristotle yelled right back at him and said” I am not no fool, you are a fool for even thinking that your formulas and prediction are even near being as correct as mine is!” At times in the argument it even got physical such as pushing and a few punches being thrown because both philosophers were really trying to prove their point and were kind of tipsy from the beer.
Everyone had left the Fuego Bar but the two men were still there fixing their equations, arguing about who is correct, drinking, and doing different experiments. As this was happening, both men found out that free fall all has to deal with mass, gravity, net force, and air density. The two men had different formulas and pondered with old sweaty drunk faces but in the end it all came down to the decision of he bartender. Galileo and Aristotle walk up to the bartender and said,” Sorry for damaging your glasses but we will pay for all that okay?” then followed by saying,” Firstly, we need to know who’s formula and inference is correct because we both have different ideas but we wanna know who is correct?” The Bartender answers,” Idk guys, you both have good ideas and sound smart but i bet both of yall also have some flaws in the formulas and predictions because of all that alcohol that you guys have drank tonight. So i am going to have to say that this contest is going to have to end up in a draw.” Aristotle and Galileo both were very surprised but ended walking out with a draw and very confident in their predictions and formulas which made them feel very happy and smart. After all of this they became good friends, both ended up taking a cab home, and waking up with a big headache the next morning. This is why no one really knows who is correct because both men were drinking,fighting like little kids who are fighting over who is better at sports, and the bartender came to a conclusion that there was no clear cut winner; a draw. Just like the owl from the tootsie pop commercial says” How many philosophers does it take to have the correct free fall method, the world may never know.”
