In general,\r\nphenomena have been attributed to forcesa metaphysical term, which\r\nexplains nothing and is merely a stop-gap, and is really not at all\r\nneedful in these days, seeing that transformable modes of motion, easily\r\nperceived and understood, may be substituted in all cases for forces.\nIn December 1895 the author gave a lecture before the Franklin Institute\r\nof Philadelphia, on Mechanical Conceptions of Electrical Phenomena, in\r\nwhich he undertook to make clear what happens when electrical phenomena\r\nappear. The publication of this lecture in The Journal of the Franklin\r\nInstitute and in Nature brought an urgent request that it should be\r\nenlarged somewhat and published in a form more convenient for the\r\npublic. The enlargement consists in the addition of a chapter on the\r\nContrasted Properties of Matter and the Ether, a chapter containing\r\nsomething which the author believes to be of philosophical importance in\r\nthese days when electricity is so generally described as a phenomenon of\r\nthe ether.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 29444 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Dolbear, A.
