Abstract
The ancient Greek atomists maintained that forces between bodies could only be communicated by pressure or impact, a view that was supported by Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas: it appears in the scholastic axiom that C matter cannot act where it is not. Duns Scotus and his followers did not agree; William of Ockham using his Razor to out any intermediate actions which were unobservable and saying that there was no reason to object to action-at-a-distance.
