...ways, if we can, along the line. But we can never get to the beginning or the end of the line. Thus, that every particle of matter attracts every other particle of matter with a force varying as the mass of the attracting particle and the inverse square of the distance of the particles, is... | |

...afterwards shown by Newton to be consequences of the general law of gravitation. By gravitation is meant that every particle of matter attracts every other particle of matter with a force which decreases as the distance increases, the force of attraction being as what is called the "inverse... | |
