...believed in the 'corpuscular' theory of matter, but they couldn't prove it. Newton, for example, believed that: 'God in the beginning formed Matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, moveable Particles, of such Sizes and Figures, and with such Properties, and in such Proportion to Space, as... | |
