Sinopsis:
Excerpt from Force and Nature: Attraction and Repulsion; The Radical Principles of Energy, Discussed in Their Relations to Physical and Morphological Developments
We know much, it is true. But much - how infinitely much! - remains to be discovered. Veins of truth embedded in darkness or error, branch in every direction; nevertheless, the ablest engineers will ever be impotent to reach the precious lodes without suit-able instruments. The mathe matician may assume data, and lead the world into error, as well as into truth. The physicist, however, must have matter and the forces themselves, so to speak, in his very hands. The fact that the force of gravitation may be proved by the calculus to act with certain fixed laws, does not by any means disprove the existence, nor even imply the non existence, of another force. It is the existence and pheno menal capacity and power of this other force which I pro pose to discuss in the following pages, tracing it into its broadest expansions, applications, and connexions with other forces and all forms of matter.
