Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Connection of the Physical Sciences All the knowledge we possess of external objects is founded upon experience, which furnishes facts; and the comparison of these facts establishes relations, from which induction, the intuitive belief that like causes Will produce like effects, leads to general -laws. Thus, experience teaches that bodies fall at the surface of the earth with an accelerated velocity, and with a force proportional to their masses. By comparison, Newton proved that the force which occasions the fall of bodies at the earth's surface, is identical with that which retains the moon in her orbit; and induction led him to conclude, that, as the moon is kept inher orbit by the attraction of the earth, so the planets might be retained in their orbits by the attraction of the sun. By such steps he was led to the discovery of one of those powers with which the Creator has ordained that matter should reciprocally act upon matter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Connection of the Physical Sciences IT has been proved by Newton, that a particle of mat ter (n. 6) placed without the surface of a hollow sphere (n. Is attracted by it in the same manner as if the mass of the hollow sphere, or the whole matter it con tains, were collected into one dense particle in its center. The same is therefore true of a solid sphere, which may be supposed to consist of an infinite number of concentric hollow spheres (n. This, however, is not the case with a spheroid (n. But the celestial bodies are so nearly spherical, and at such remote distances from one another, that they attract and are attracted as if each were condensed into a single particle situate in its center of gravity (n. 10) - a circumstance which greatly facili tates the investigation of their motions. Newton has shown that the force which retains the moon in her orbit, is the same with that which causes heavy substances to fall at the surface of the earth. If the eafth were a sphere, and at rest, a body would be equally attracted, that is, it would have the same wei ht at every point of its surface, because the surface 0 a sphere is everywhere equally distant from its center. But as our planet is flattened at the poles (n. And bulges at the equator, the weight of the same body gradually decreases from the poles, where it is greatest, to the equator, where it is least. There is, however, a certain mean (n. 12) latitude (n. Or part of the earth intermediate between the pole and the equator, where the attraction of the earth on bodies at its surface is the same as if it were a sphere; and experience shows that bodies there fall through feet in a second. The mean distance (n. 14) of the moon from the earth is about sixty times the mean radius (n. 15) of the earth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences The progress of modern science, especially within the last few years, has been remarkable for a tendency to simplify the laws of nature, and to unite detached branches by general principles. In some cases identity has been proved where there appeared to be nothing in common, as in the electric and magnetic influences in others, as that of light and heat, such analogies have been pointed out as to justify the expectation that they will ultimately be referred to the same agent: and in all there exists such a bond of union, that proficiency cannot be attained in any one without a knowledge of others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laws of Physical Science: A Reference Book The data of physical science are readily accessible in several published tables Of physical constants. The mathe maties used in physical science has been summarized, classi fied and formulated, for ready reference, in many published books. The author is not aware, however, of any hand-book or reference work which contains a full list of the general propositions or laws of science. Such reference lists are not without value, and this book has been prepared to fill an obvious gap in the literature of Physical Science. Furthermore, it appears to the author that students in any of the branches of Natural Science will not only find guidance, but will also derive inspiration by having before them under a single [view the very epitome of the world's heritage of the fundamentals of its knowledge and wisdom.' None will question that the fundamentals of science are its laws, principles, theorems and precise state ments of the general properties of matter; but it is not always easy for students in one branch of science to find and to know the literature on important principles and facts in an entirely different, or even' in closely allied branches of science. The author hopes that what has been here gath ered together and classified will help such students in their search and give them the means to broaden their view. We have chosen for a title, Laws of Physical Science but many general propositions, theorems and mere state ments of important facts have been included which perhaps.

Download or read book Matter Ether and Motion written by A. E. Dolbear and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Matter, Ether, and Motion: The Factors and Relations of Physical Science As the work is a treatise on Physics, there is no special reason for going beyond it; but if this presenta tion of the subject is any approach to the truth, there is an important conclusion to be drawn from it. If the ether be the homogeneous and uniform medium it is believed with reason to be, then, in the absence of what we call matter, no physical change which we call a phenomenon could possibly arise in it for every such phenomenon is a product, and in the absence of one of the essential factors, viz., matter, it could not be. If matter itself be a form of motion of the ether, the ether must have existed prior to matter; also, if the atom be a form of energy, then must energy have existed before matter existed. Hence there must have been some other agency radically different from any physical energy we know, and independent of everything we know, which was capable of producing orderly physical phenomena, by acting upon the ether; for a homogene ous medium could not originate it. Some philosophers call this antecedent power The Unknowable others call it God. If energy as we know it implies antecedent energy as we do not know it, so, likewise, mind as we know it implies antecedent mind under totally different conditions from those in which we find it embodied.
