Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences The progress of modern science, especially within the last few years, has been remarkable for a tendency to simplify the laws of nature, and to unite detached branches by general principles. In some cases identity has been proved where there appeared to be nothing in common, as in the electric and magnetic influences in others, as that of light and heat, such analogies have been pointed out as to justify the expectation that they will ultimately be referred to the same agent: and in all there exists such a bond of union, that proficiency cannot be attained in any one without a knowledge of others.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Connection of the Physical Sciences All the knowledge we possess of external objects is founded upon experience, which furnishes facts; and the comparison of these facts establishes relations, from which induction, the intuitive belief that like causes Will produce like effects, leads to general -laws. Thus, experience teaches that bodies fall at the surface of the earth with an accelerated velocity, and with a force proportional to their masses. By comparison, Newton proved that the force which occasions the fall of bodies at the earth's surface, is identical with that which retains the moon in her orbit; and induction led him to conclude, that, as the moon is kept inher orbit by the attraction of the earth, so the planets might be retained in their orbits by the attraction of the sun. By such steps he was led to the discovery of one of those powers with which the Creator has ordained that matter should reciprocally act upon matter.

This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Connection of the Physical Sciences IT has been proved by Newton, that a particle of mat ter (n. 6) placed without the surface of a hollow sphere (n. Is attracted by it in the same manner as if the mass of the hollow sphere, or the whole matter it con tains, were collected into one dense particle in its center. The same is therefore true of a solid sphere, which may be supposed to consist of an infinite number of concentric hollow spheres (n. This, however, is not the case with a spheroid (n. But the celestial bodies are so nearly spherical, and at such remote distances from one another, that they attract and are attracted as if each were condensed into a single particle situate in its center of gravity (n. 10) - a circumstance which greatly facili tates the investigation of their motions. Newton has shown that the force which retains the moon in her orbit, is the same with that which causes heavy substances to fall at the surface of the earth. If the eafth were a sphere, and at rest, a body would be equally attracted, that is, it would have the same wei ht at every point of its surface, because the surface 0 a sphere is everywhere equally distant from its center. But as our planet is flattened at the poles (n. And bulges at the equator, the weight of the same body gradually decreases from the poles, where it is greatest, to the equator, where it is least. There is, however, a certain mean (n. 12) latitude (n. Or part of the earth intermediate between the pole and the equator, where the attraction of the earth on bodies at its surface is the same as if it were a sphere; and experience shows that bodies there fall through feet in a second. The mean distance (n. 14) of the moon from the earth is about sixty times the mean radius (n. 15) of the earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Somerville (1780-1872) would have been a remarkable woman in any age, but as an acknowledged leading mathematician and astronomer at a time when the education of most women was extremely restricted, her achievement was extraordinary. Laplace famously told her that 'There have been only three women who have understood me. These are yourself, Mrs Somerville, Caroline Herschel and a Mrs Greig of whom I know nothing.' Mary Somerville was in fact Mrs Greig. After (as she herself said) translating Laplace's work 'from algebra into common language', she wrote On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences (1834). Her intention was to demonstrate the remarkable tendency of modern scientific discoveries 'to simplify the laws of nature, and to unite detached branches by general principles.' This and her next book, the two-volume Physical Geography, also reissued in this series, were enormously influential both within the scientific community and beyond.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Universal History: Its Method and Its Relation to the Physical Sciences Since the days of Heracleitus, the Universe, with all that it contains, has been conceived as in a state of perpetual flux, and as therefore having a history - a history of the fluxes, both quantitative and qualitative - which it has undergone in the process of Time. Sir Robert Ball tells us that by our telescopes and on our photographs we can discern something like one hundred million luminous stars, and that the visible stars do not form the hundredth, probably not the thousandth, probably not even the millionth, part of the worlds which lurk unseen in the dark, unfathomed caves of the upper ocean. Each of these worlds has a history, if we could but know it. The solar system has a history which the science of men is slowly spelling out. The round world which we inhabit has a history, and all the sciences, in the ascending scales of their successive evolution, combine to set that history in a framework of periodic times and of systematic ideas. Geology tells us how our Mother Earth through long aeons of the primeval night-time was balancing and modulating the cosmic forces which were destined in the end to prepare a theatre for man. In Palaeontology we rehearse the story of epochs which have long since been surmounted, and move among the vanished forms of plants and animals which have long since perished from the face of the earth. "At the bottom of the ocean lie the mountains of former ages, on the summits of the Andes and Himalayas are the sands of ancient ocean-beds," while the ichthian and saurian monsters which lie sepulchred in those rock-ribbed pyramids have been described as the "mummied pharaohs" of an extinct animal dynasty.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glance at the Physical Sciences: Or the Wonders of Nature, in Earth, Air, and Sky The true mode of pursuing scientific studies is to regard them as investigations into the works of the Almighty, and every where, as well in the contem plation of the starry firmament as in scrutinizing the more familiar objects of our own globe, to realize the presence of the Creator. In this way, science unseals the volume of Nature's revelation, to the most noble and exalting purposes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of the Physical Sciences: Their Value in Education and the Part They Play in Advancing the Civilization of Mankind IN this little book the Author has made an attempt to show the importance of the Physical Sciences in promoting education; and also the substantial value of scientific knowledge under any circumstances in assisting man to play his part happily and worthily. Addressing himself more especially to the enlightened educator and intelligent student, he desires to contribute his little offering to the cause of science, by point ing out its attractions and usefulness, from a profound conviction that the diffusion of such information is desirable, and that the more men understand and appreciate the tendency of science, the better they will perceive what fitting instruments are provided by its teachings for the elevation of the human race. In a work designedly elementary, the Author has avoided encumbering his pages with notes and references as unnecessary where the subject matter is limited to the region of recognized facts. The scientific reader, however, will perceive that a more elaborate design might turn to good account many speculations of an interesting character, though scarcely entitled as yet to assume the position of established principles.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Physics, Vol. 1: Ponderable Bodies Tnn study of the physical sciences has become of 1 almost universal; partly because it has been found v suited to cultivate habits of observation and reasoni which cannot fail to be of use in the business of life, a partly because the practical application of scientific p) ciples to the details of almost every department of mm facturing and agricultural industry, has rendered sc acquaintance with natural philosophy and chemistry im pensable. Instruction in these branches of knowle now forms part of the education given to most boys school: to meet their requirements so many treatises h already been published, that to add to the number n seem a mark of presumption. To this objection translator was not altogether insensible whilst prepar the present d104-book for the press; he believes, howew that on examination it will be found that the man now ofl'ered to the public occupies ground not taken up any existing treatise on Natural Philosophy, for the wo on this science in our language are, almost without caption, either purely theoretical, or they are, in the stricw sense of the term, popular.

Download or read book On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences written by Mary Fairfax Somerville and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 805 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, regarded as the pursuit of truth, must ever afford occupation of consummate interest, and subject of elevated meditation. The contemplation of the works of creation elevates the mind to the admiration of whatever is great and noble; accomplishing the object of all study, which, in the eloquent language of Sir James Mackintosh, “is to inspire the love of truth, of wisdom, of beauty—especially of goodness, the highest beauty—and of that supreme and eternal Mind, which contains all truth and wisdom, all beauty and goodness. By the love or delightful contemplation and pursuit of these transcendent aims, for their own sake only, the mind of man is raised from low and perishable objects, and prepared for those high destinies which are appointed for all those who are capable of them.” Astronomy affords the most extensive example of the connection of the physical sciences. In it are combined the sciences of number and quantity, of rest and motion. In it we perceive the operation of a force which is mixed up with everything that exists in the heavens or on earth; which pervades every atom, rules the motions of animate and inanimate beings, and is as sensible in the descent of a rain-drop as in the falls of Niagara; in the weight of the air, as in the periods of the moon. Gravitation not only binds satellites to their planet, and planets to the sun, but it connects sun with sun throughout the wide extent of creation, and is the cause of the disturbances, as well as of the order of nature; since every tremor it excites in any one planet is immediately transmitted to the farthest limits of the system, in oscillations which correspond in their periods with the cause producing them, like sympathetic notes in music, or vibrations from the deep tones of an organ. The heavens afford the most sublime subject of study which can be derived from science. The magnitude and splendour of the objects, the inconceivable rapidity with which they move, and the enormous distances between them, impress the mind with some notion of the energy that maintains them in their motions, with a durability to which we can see no limit. Equally conspicuous is the goodness of the great First Cause, in having endowed man with faculties, by which he can not only appreciate the magnificence of His works, but trace, with precision, the operation of His laws, use the globe he inhabits as a base wherewith to measure the magnitude and distance of the sun and planets, and make the diameter (Note 1) of the earth’s orbit the first step of a scale by which he may ascend to the starry firmament. Such pursuits, while they ennoble the mind, at the same time inculcate humility, by showing that there is a barrier which no energy, mental or physical, can ever enable us to pass: that, however profoundly we may penetrate the depths of space, there still remain innumerable systems, compared with which, those apparently so vast must dwindle into insignificance, or even become invisible; and that not only man, but the globe he inhabits—nay, the whole system of which it forms so small a part—might be annihilated, and its extinction be unperceived in the immensity of creation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Matter and Motion Physical science, which up to the end of the eighteenth century had been fully occupied in forming a conception Of natural phenomena as the result of forces acting between one body and another, has now fairly entered on the next stage of progress - that in which the energy Of a material system is conceived as determined by the configuration and motion of that system, and in which the ideas of configuration, motion, and force are generalised to the utmost extent warranted by their physical definitions. TO become acquainted with these fundamental ideas, to examine them under all their aspects, and habitually to guide the current of thought along the channels of strict dynamical reasoning, must be the foundation of the training Of the student of Physical Science. The following statement of the fundamental doctrines of Matter and Motion is therefore to be regarded as an introduction to the study of Physical Science in general.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of Science And, indeed, we are led back by psychology to approach logic, physics, and the other sciences we have traced, from a new standpoint. Psychology gives us insight into the theory of knowledge, and leads us critically to examine how it is that we know anything, either by logic or by the senses, or by that fertile union of thawo - which breeds science. Thus, by the road of psychology, we return once more to our starting-point, ready to study fundamental, logical, mechanical, and physical ideas from a. Critical point of view. We shall do well, then, to bend our spectrum round so that the violet theory of knowledge, which lies beyond the blue of psychology, shall be brought near to the purple of logic, where fundamental scientific10 the foundations OF science ideas take their rise and pass into the red of definite physics.
