The main theme is the recognition and testing of dual concepts and dual systems of thought in physical theory. This dual analysis generates a non-inertial Physics and can be characterized as anti-Newtonian (dual to Newton). This exposition addresses this subject with special emphasis on the problem of falling bodies. Falling bodies are analyzed with respect to the most important cosmologies that influenced scientists up to Newton. This study includes relevant points from the work of Ptolemy, Copernicus, Gilbert, Brahe, Kepler, Descartes, and Galileo. Newton's Second Law of motion is used in a new way to criticize Galileo's famous thought experiment that he used to prove that all falling bodies fall at the same acceleration regardless of weight. Newton agreed with Galileo's argument and then proposed that it is true that all falling bodies fall at the same acceleration but that heavier bodies fall with more force. The formula for this is derived from his Second Law of motion. I attempt to show that Newton's Law and Galileo's thought experiment are incompatible and cannot both be true. Furthermore, I attempt to show that a system dual to Newton's is both consistent and coherent with observed phenomena.
