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.
