...announced the axiom. " The immediate cause of the phenomenon of heat, then, is motion, and the laws of its communication are precisely the same as the laws of the communication of motion." But all the while, as late as 1840, these ideas were laughed at as extravagancies, when it was made... | |

...defines heat as "a peculiar motion," and in his " Chemical Philosophy" tells us that " the laws of its communication are precisely the same as the laws of the communication of motion." Locke, later on,* insists that " what in our sensation is heat, in the object is nothing but motion."... | |
