Excerpt: ...at his greatest Di-XVI. stance from Jupiter, an Astronomer here would Vyv/ observe an Eclipse of a Satellit at the fame Moment of Time he would do, were the Earth at X 3S.i Siuistiat her nearest Distance to Jupiter: For, accord-"d'rtd ing to' this Hypothesis, Light is propagated in the fame Distance through all Spaces indefinitely, whe-eclipsm of ther near, or never so much remote. But if Light J)Jpittr 1 takes up any Time for its Propagation thro' Space, ns, it will sooner pass through a shorter Space than a greater. And therefore an Observator at X, being nearer to Jupiter than one at T, by the Distance XT, which is almost equal to the Diameter of the Earth's Orbit, will sooner observe the Eclipse of a Satellit, than a Spectator can do at T. And therefore from the Difserence of those Times, which is proportional to X T the Difference of Distances, we can collect the Velocity of Light; and so this Matter is in Reality. For whenever the Earth is at its nearest Distance from Jupiter, the Eclipses are found to happen sooner than they do when they are observed from T at a greater Distance, where they fall out sensibly later than they ought to be, according to our Astronomical Computations. These quicker and slower Returns of Eclipses having been observed for many Years by Mr. Homer with much Care and Diligence, upon them be founded this Argument for demonstrating the successive Propagation of Light; and by them be proved, That Light, like all other Bodies in Motion, had a determined Degree of Velocity, and took a determined Time to move through a given Space. To which Opinion the most Part of the astronomers and Philosophers do now give their Assent. The Particles therefore of Light, though their Minuteness be indefinite, and not...

Download or read book Ancient Astronomical Observations and the Study of the Moon s Motion 1691 1757 written by John M. Steele and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-17 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of a gradual acceleration in the moon’s mean motion by Edmond Halley in the last decade of the seventeenth century led to a revival of interest in reports of astronomical observations from antiquity. These observations provided the only means to study the moon’s ‘secular acceleration’, as this newly-discovered acceleration became known. This book contains the first detailed study of the use of ancient and medieval astronomical observations in order to investigate the moon’s secular acceleration from its discovery by Halley to the establishment of the magnitude of the acceleration by Richard Dunthorne, Tobias Mayer and Jérôme Lalande in the 1740s and 1750s. Making extensive use of previously unstudied manuscripts, this work shows how different astronomers used the same small body of preserved ancient observations in different ways in their work on the secular acceleration. In addition, this work looks at the wider context of the study of the moon’s secular acceleration, including its use in debates of biblical chronology, whether the heavens were made up of æther, and the use of astronomy in determining geographical longitude. It also discusses wider issues of the perceptions and knowledge of ancient and medieval astronomy in the early-modern period. This book will be of interest to historians of astronomy, astronomers and historians of the ancient world.

Download or read book David Hume and the Culture of Scottish Newtonianism written by Tamás Demeter and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Hume has a canonical place in the context of moral philosophy, but his insights are less frequently discussed in relation to natural philosophy. David Hume and the Culture of Scottish Newtonianism offers a discussion of Hume’s methodological and ideological commitments in matters of knowledge as reflected in his language and outlook. Tamás Demeter argues that several aspects of Hume’s moral philosophy reflect post-Newtonian tendencies in the aftermath of the Opticks, and show affinities with Newton-inspired Scottish physiology and chemistry. Consequently, when Hume describes his project as an 'anatomy of the mind' he uses a metaphor that expresses his commitment to study human cognitive and affective functioning on analogy with active and organic nature, and not with the Principia’s world of inert matter.
