Aristotle believed that four elements make up everything in our world. They were Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, he also believed that the heavens were made of a fifth element called aether and that the moon was perfectly smooth. The reason this view of physics was incorrect was found during the Scientific Revolution, this was found to be incorrect, Galileo made the observation through his telescope that the moon was not perfectly smooth and contained craters and mountains. Aristotle's understanding of physics through the classical elements was proven to be false and replaced with the more modern concept of empirically tested chemical elements.
