Conceptual Physics:
"The heat is not a property independent of the atom. Thinking ‘solid matter’ as they do, they say there is no difference in the directions; it is all a question of just so many abstract mathematical numbers to them–without reference to the numbers of the atoms and the spaces between them. All the differences are always directional! The Encyclopedia is saying that physics is nonconceptual!
“The homogeneity is the gravity. What is the reason for the homogeneity-- nobody knows! Newton did not know. The gravity is the a priori mystery, but the behavior of the atoms is conceptual.”
