Each physical atom is the centre of an etheric molecule composed of many etheric atoms vibrating at a greater or lesser speed and interpenetrating the atom. keywords: atom; earth; ether; etheric; globe; manasic; matter; physical; physics; prakritic; prana; solar; sun; universe; vibration; world cache: 10773.txt plain text: 10773.txt item: #2 of 7 id: 15207 author: Poincaré, Lucien title: The New Physics and Its Evolution date: None words: 77928 flesch: 48 summary: ] I must here leave out the description of a crowd of other experiments.

In order to this, let it first be considered, _that we cannot by any means we are yet acquainted with, force the electrical fluid through glass_. keywords: account; air; america; atmosphere; balls; bodies; body; bottle; business; clouds; conductor; cork; distance; dry; earth; effect; electric; electricity; electrified; end; england; experiments; find; finger; fire; fluid; force; franklin; general; glass; globe; good; great; half; hand; house; iii; inches; iron; letter; life; lightning; long; manner; matter; means; money; negative; new; non; number; observations; order; paper; particles; parts; phial; philadelphia; place; point; power; quantity; read; rod; round; sea; shock; sir; small; spark; state; stroke; surface; thunder; time; tube; water; wax; way; wire; years cache: 48136.txt plain text: 48136.txt item: #5 of 7 id: 48138 author: Franklin, Benjamin title: The Complete Works in Philosophy, Politics and Morals of the late Dr. Benjamin Franklin, Vol. 3 [of 3] date: None words: 173307 flesch: 65 summary: They reflected how lightly the interest of _all_ America had been estimated here, when the interests of a _few_ of the inhabitants of Great Britain happened to have the smallest competition with it.

It is therefore natural to expect that the knowledge of physical science obtained by the combined use of mathematical analysis and experimental research will be of a more solid, available, and enduring kind than that possessed by the mere mathematician or the mere experimenter. keywords: blue; bodies; experiments; light; men; mind; molecules; nature; phenomena; physical; quantities; science; theory; time; yellow cache: 4908.txt plain text: 4908.txt item: #7 of 7 id: 58404 author: Newcastle, Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of title: Grounds of Natural Philosophy: Divided into Thirteen Parts The Second Edition, much altered from the First, which went under the Name of Philosophical and Physical Opinions date: None words: 62833 flesch: 61 summary: Though every Self-moving Part, or Corporeal Motion, have free-will to move after what manner they please; yet, by reason there can be no Single Parts, several Parts unite in one Action, and so there must be united Actions: for, though every particular Part may divide from particular Parts; yet those that divide from some, are necessitated to join with other Parts, at the same point of time of division; and at that very same time, is their uniting or joining: so that Division, and Composition or Joining, is as one and the same act. _Madness_ is not only in the Head, but in other Parts of the Body: As for example, Some will feel unusual Touches in their Hands, and several other parts of their Body. keywords: actions; body; cause; chap; corporeal; creatures; example; exterior; fire; hath; human; infinite; kinds; mind; motions; nature; opinion; parts; perception; reason; regular; self; sensitive; society; sorts; water; world cache: 58404.txt plain text: 58404.txt
