...subject to one source of great uncertainty. Newton laid down the law of universal gravitation, " That every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly proportionate to the mass of the attracting particle, and inversely to the square of the distance between... | |

...repel each other : it cannot be laid down as law, that, according to Newton " every particle of matter attracts every other particle, with a force directly...and inversely to the square of the distance between them." If this were true, all things created would either amalgamate into one lump, or, the heavenly... | |

...which render it prohable that it is derivative. The law of gravitation enunciated by Newton is, that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which diminishes as the square of the distance increases. Under this law a stone falls to the ground... | |

...identical with the law itself, and not something different from it. Thus, for example, the fact that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a certain force, is the law of gravity. The observance is the law, and the law is the observance. There... | |
