The whirling-process in pre-socratics cosmogonies

We give in this work a possible interpretation of the process due to the action of the rotational movement on the primordial substance of the pre-socratics thinkers which results in the separation of its light components from the heavier one. We give also some arguments for the difficulty to extending this interpretation to the cosmogonic theory of René Descartes.
