...Berkeley leave for the conception of law in nature ? Translate into the language of his theory the law that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which is inversely proportional to the square of their distances.

...product of the volume and density of a body. 15. We have seen that gravitation is universal, that is, that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle. Let us confine our attention to the mutual attraction of the earth and the bodies on or near its surface.... | |

He announced that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force decreasing rapidly as the distance between the particles increases, but never entirely ceasing to act.... | |

In it Newton generalizes the law of attraction into a statement that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between... | |

I postulate first — Newton's law of gravitation, that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly as the mass and inversely as the square of the distance. It will be well to pause and consider... | |
