The basis of this opinion was the same that had previously been noted by Rum ford. So much having been... | |

Moreover, the statement that " heat is kinetic energy " is supported by the following considerations... | |

He considers this repulsive motion to be analogous to the orbital motions of planets : and that, consequently,... | |
