I Do Not Define Time, Space, Place, And Motion, As Being Well Known To All. Only I Must Observe, That The Common People Conceive Those Quantities Under No Other Notions But From The Relation They Bear To Sensible Objects. And Thence Arise Certain Prejudices, For The Removing Of Which It Will Be Convenient To Distinguish Them Into Absolute And Relative, True And Apparent, Mathematical And Common.
