The Natural Laws originate nothing, sustain nothing ; they are merely responsible for uniformity in sustaining what has been originated and what is being sustained.
Página 217 - Heat, also, as in a thermal pile, is not only converted into a powerful current of electricity, but can be converted into the most brilliant incandescent light if sufficiently intensified. Now, if all these conversions of one form of physical force into another is rationally evident, is it not reasonably manifest that both light-force and electric force, as substantial entities, may be converted into sound-force, in accordance with the illustrations here given? Q. 77. If sound is a substantial force,...
Página 87 - If magnetism were not a real substance, it could not lift a piece of metal bodily at a distance from the magnet. any more than our hand could lift a weight from the floor without some substantial connection between the two.
