ڈاکٹر الکسس کیرل(1873-1944) نے لکھا ہے کہ گلیلیو نے چیزوں کی ابتدائی صفات کو جو ابعاد اور وزن پر مشتمل ہیں اور جن کی آسانی سے پیمائش کی جاسکتی ہے، ان ثانوی صفات سے الگ کردیا جو شکل، رنگ اور بو وغیرہ سے تعلق رکھتی ہیں اور جن کی پیمائش کی جاسکتی ہے۔ کمیّت کو کیفیت سے جدا کردیا گیا:

Galileo, as is well known, distinguished the primary qualities of things, dimensions and weight, which are easily measurable, from their secondary qualities, form, colour, odour, which cannot be measured. The quantitative was separated from the qualitative. The quantitative, expressed in mathematical language, brought science to humanity. The qualitative was neglected.  (Man, the Unknown, New York, 1939, p.  278)
