Factual Errors and Shortcomings by Descartes

We list down the errors of Descartes so we can bring back an error-free Cartesian Science

4 min read

We test Descartes’ assertions, just as we tested Einstein’s and Keynes’, to expose his factual errors.

1Principia Part 3: 154Saturn does not rotate so muchSaturn rotates quickly
2The World Chapter 8Comets (and the Oort Cloud) move faster than the inner planetsComets are slower
3Principia Part 3: 82The fire-aether beyond Saturn do not move faster.They move slower. This mistake is caused by the previous mistake on comets
4Principia Part 3: 147The outer planets are more solid (materially denser) than the inner onesThe inner planets are more solid
5Principia Part 3: 153Magnets have 2 opposing channel flow directionsModern Physics reveals magnets to have 1 flow, from North to Soutn
6Principia Part 4: 77, 79Earthquakes are caused by gas explosions in the EarthEarthquakes are caused by tectonic plates
7Passions: 36The feelings come from the pineal gland instead of the heartThe feelings are facilitated by the heart, which are then processed by the pineal gland
8Meteors Discourse 2Cool feeling from warm breeze is from the uniform flow of warm air which prevents agitation.Entrainment causes cool air to go with warm breeze if fast

Shortcomings

Descartes’ system would have been perfect if it didn’t have the following shortcomings:

  1. No mention of supernova

Supernovae are notable features of galaxies. Descartes did not mention any supernova.

  1. Very little info on electricity

Natural electricity already existed as lightning, which he calls fire. It would have been great if he expounded more on the nature of electricity.

  1. Not much info on animals and plant biology

Descartes probably wanted to write biology after writing the Treatise on Man. But he died early in Sweden.

  1. Too much importance on pineal gland and too little on the heart

In Yogic Science, the heart chakra is just as important as the top chakra (represented by the pineal gland). Descartes gives too much importance on pineal gland and too little on the heart.
