...matter are thus demonstrably not in contact — " Since all matter may be made to fill a smaller volume by cooling, it is evident that the particles of matter must have space between them." — Sir H. Davy. 1 . Take the quadrant of altitude and bend it : the molecules which compose that portion... | |

...immediate cause of the phenomena of heat is motion. Since matter may be made to fill a smaller space by cooling, it is evident that the particles of matter must have space between them It is also possible that the particles themselves may be actually smaller than the intervening space... | |
