Excerpt from Universal Attraction: Its Relation to the Chemical Elements; The Key to a Consistent Philosophy
IF Nature had told Newton as much as she has since told those who regard him as her infallible interpreter, he would, I believe, have declared even more forcibly than he did that her first law is order.
It is about 200 years since his Principia appeared, and chemistry and electricity have since then as sciences been born into the world.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book questions Isaac Newton's renowned law of gravitation, arguing that it's incomplete and proposing a new and more comprehensive law that encompasses both gravitation and chemical affinity. The author begins by examining the inconsistencies and assumptions inherent in Newton's law, particularly the idea that the force of gravity acts equally on different kinds of matter. This assumption, the author contends, is contradicted by evidence from various scientific disciplines, including chemistry and physics. The author then delves into the concept of atomic motion, arguing that the different properties of elements and their chemical behavior can be explained by the varying rates of motion of their atoms. This leads to a redefinition of mass as the product of matter and force, rather than simply matter as Newton assumed. The book concludes by presenting a new law of attraction that unifies gravitation and chemical affinity, accounting for the phenomena observed in both physical and chemical interactions. This law is based on the principles of universal sympathy and selective absorption, and it provides a more nuanced understanding of the forces that govern the behavior of matter.
