...but Davy, in 1812, for the first time, stated plainly and precisely the real nature of heat, saying: "The immediate cause of the phenomenon of heat, then,...same as the laws of the communication of motion." The basis of this opinion was the same that had previously been noted by Rumford. So much having been... | |

...corpuscles of bodies tending to separate them.' Again, in 1812, Davy thus states his theory : — ' The immediate cause of the phenomenon of heat, then,...same as the laws of the communication of motion.' Another way of stating the above is that heat is a form of energy. To make this point clear before... | |
