ON AN INVERSION OF IDEAS AS TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE UNIVERSE.
Table of Contents
i. Evidence afforded by the outward facts of nature.
The general problem of the universe, as hitherto presented by the phenomena which Tyndall, in this house, called the outward facts of nature,
demands that matter, besides being continuous in time and occupying space to exclusion of other matter, shall have such physical properties as admit:
(i) of conditions in space which allow of motions of matter, like those of the earth and planets round the sun, at velocities of upwards of 20 miles a second, with scarcely any diminution after thousands of years; i.e. they must admit of a perfect vacuum of matter, such as would be obtained by a perfect air-pump;
(2) they must also allow of the transmission of light, such as is being transmitted through these windows, to be reflected or absorbed by the opposite wall;
(3) of the gravitation of matter, as when I drop this ball;
(4) of the (limited) cohesion of matter, on which the strength of our structures depend. Thus I can break this stick of sealing-wax, and when I warm the ends and bring them together, when cold it is as strong as before;
(5) of the elasticity of matter, as shown by the continued vibration of this spring;
(6) of the limited friction of matter, as is shown by the weight resting on the inclined plane until the inclination reaches a certain angle, when it slides down at an accelerating rate;
(7) of the viscosity of matter, as is shown by putting oil on the inclined plane, when the weight slides down slowly
