...and then dimi. nishes, till as soon as the particles are separated by sensible distances it varies directly as the mass, and inversely as the squares of the distances — the well known law of universal gravitation. Such are the results of M. Mosotti's profound investigations... | |

...half as far as the first; then, seeing that this atomic motion is radiated, the law of force must be directly as the mass, and inversely as the squares of the distances. There may be other atomic vibrations besides those which we call light, heat, and chemical action,... | |
