Teleology and Gravity

Aristotelian Cosmology is hierarchical--Up and Down are the value-laden High and Low.  Furthermore, the distinction between High and Low is one of kind, not of degree.  In Platonism, the kinds are Ideality vs. Reality, in Aristotelianism, they are Unmoved vs. Teleologically Moved.  So, half the repudiation of Aristotelian Cosmology is the consequence of Heliocentricism, which homogenizes High and Low as merely Up and Down from a terrestrial perspective.  The other half is the discovery of Universal Gravitation, which replaces Teleology as the Cosmological motor force, with infinitely multiple centers, rather than one.  Now, as has been demonstrated in the centuries since that discovery, terrestrial Gravity has become superable, which Aristotle considers impossible with respect to Teleology, thereby enabling travel from Low to High.
