Cartesius's particles or  Newton's fields?

In 1644 Cartesius published Principia philosophiae, in which he formulated three laws of dynamics. In the year of Torricelli's experiment Cartesius didn't accepted the  existence of the vacuum. World is filled with a matter, divided into particles. Every of them can be furtherly divided. Objects act each with other it they are in contact, if they are apart they can emit other particles, around them and in other objects directions.

For example, magnetic materials emit helicoidal particles and planets are sorrounded with matter whirls.

Isaac Newton, four decades later, writes Principia mathematica, not longer "philosophical". If the vaccum does exist, how is it possible that motions of the planets do not slow down time?

The vacuum, as a place where rules (only?)  mathematis comes into existence. Not for a long time...

According to Cartesius the space around a magnet is filled by microscopic particles of a helicoidal shape. Inside the bodies there exists channels for these particles allowing a free fluence.

By Cartesius planets cruise in the Universe, carried away by giantic astronomical whirls, like cogged wheels.

Dynamics laws of the Cartesius
(easier than Newton's ones?):

  1. If the body is in rest, it remains in it, until an external force acts on that body.
  2. If the body is in a motion then it continues it along a straight line with a constant speed.
  3. During collision of two bodies, loss of the "motion" of one of them is equal to increment of the second one. "Motion" is defined by a product of mass and speed.
