Leibniz defines in this famous short paper the true measure of ���force��� (1). Later, Leibniz ( Leibniz, Vis viva, 1695 ) names this quantity vis viva, the living force (2). Furthermore, Leibniz demands the impossibility of perpetual motion and of its opposite. (1) Leibniz, G.W.

L’histoire se présente normalement comme une suite de cycles culturels L’histoire, comme toute autre discipline intellectuelle, ne peut s’exprimer que par concepts. Quoi qu’en aient dit depuis la plus haute antiquité les sceptiques et les existentialistes de tout poil, elle a toujours fourni la base d’une connaissance de l’homme, qui est peut-être la plus solide et en tout cas la plus utile des sciences. Il nous faut donc, là comme ailleurs, pour comprendre, d’abord commencer par connaître, e...

\(\)Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716), as one of the most important figures in the development of the Scientific Revolution (Enlightenment), opposed especially the theory of conservation of quantity of motion as advocated by René Descartes and summarized the incompleteness in Newton’s hypotheses and his criticism of Descartes’s physical principles in his theory of dynamics (specimen dynamicum (1)) while visiting Italy. In this work, Leibniz is demanding that the relativistic kinetic energy, or vis viva (p. 149) or “living force” or \(m \times v \times v \) (i.e. relativistic kinetic energy), but not \(m \times v \) (i.e. relativistic momentum), is conserved through changes. Centuries later, relativity theory has been able to confirm (2) his position (relativistic wave equation). In his article on dynamic 'specimen' for discovering the laws of nature concerning the forces and mutual actions of bodies, and recalling their causes, Leibniz terms his second postulated active force as “dead force” or “vis mortua”.
