LS gives an example of a non-reversible law of motion based on A's belief that force causes motion that ceases when the force ceases, i.e. F=mv.
He says "Aristotle didn't call it Force because he was [inaudible]".
"How do say force in Greek by the way?" Audience:"DI-NA-MIS". Susskind "I don't understand, I'll call it F anyway".
