This is what's on Cornell Universities website. Apparently there is documentation which Gottfried LeibnizMotion
mass, velocity, momentum, force
Newton's laws of motion
Newton's law of universal gravitation
Newton's law of viscosity
Newton's law of cooling
Of course his work in optics while important at the time has been largely superceded (read footnote)
And as you point out mathematics isn't properly "science" with an undefined epistemological status
(helped to invent calculus) actually among defended Bessler's machine. Some have said they observed it
working. People can click on Alejandro Jenkin's name at the top left highlighted in blue and see what
other items he has posted and who with. https://arxiv.org/abs/1301.3097
Even a working wheel will be considered a hoax for a while. It is considered impossible, right? And the question
people will have trouble asking is why does the weight assembly move up the arm if it's not being lifted? Because
the arm rotates on an axis different from the fulcrum of the weight assembly. It moves relative to its axle while the
weight wheel assembly remains the same distance from its fulcrum. Basically the 2 pulleys that can be seen shift
the swing of the weight wheel assembly so it will swing with the arm. If the video is stopped at 24 seconds,
how the retraction line can be seen. As the arm/wheel rotates, there is always a 90º between the axle of the wheel
and where the retraction line meets the retraction disc. It seems that the video quality was degraded when editing
was done. This is the original video I used in some of my videos.
p.s., I'd suggest watching the video at 0.25 speed in the setting (gear) in low right corner of the video.
