Between 1Я40 and 1843 Joule conclusively established the truth of this theory — the dynamical theory... | |

Neither, indeed, did any one else for some thirty years afterwards.... | |

Hence Davy concludes that ' the immediate cause of the phenomenon of heat is motion, and ' the laws of its communication are...same as the ' laws of the communication of motion.' If, aa it would appear, heat be nothing more than motion, either of the ultimate particles of matter... | |

In other words the molecular motion, heat, exactly fulfills the conditions 61 Newton's third law of... | |
