Abstract :
Aristotle´s physics provides a coherent set of physical laws which predict physical events less well than Newton´s, but fit human expectations better. Embedded in a virtual reality, they thus provide a system which the user can more quickly learn to control, being more intuitive than Newton´s laws and more consistent than ad hoc movement rules. Being simpler and cheaper to implement, they also give smoother behaviour (for given hardware investment) than the usual classical mechanics
