Pierre Duhem described the classical Cartesian view of the physical as follows: "matter is essentially identical with the extended in length, breadth, and depth, as the language of geometry goes; we have to consider only its various shapes and motions. Matter for the Cartesians is, if you please, a kind of vast fluid, incompressible and absolutely homogeneous. Hard, unbreakable atoms and the empty spaces separating them are merely so many appearances, so many illusions."
