On the Structure, the Gravity, the Equilibrium and the Elastic Force of Air
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased Above it was shown more than enough that water is in its proper position and remains together by its gravity. Moreover, we…
GENERAL
Investigation of the Cause of the Spontaneous Elevation of Small Particles of Water in the Air Above the Surface of the Water
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased We elegantly confirmed above (by altering and deforming a spherical shape) the truth of the theory of Archimedes according to whom all…
Every Fluid Body Among Those Which Rest on the Surface of the Earth is Heavy and Exerts the Force of Its Gravity, Even When Present and Quiescent in Its due Place, in All the Fluid of Its Kind
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased We supposed with Archimedes that water and all the other fluid bodies surrounding the earth exert a compression towards the centre of…
On the Necessity of Vacuum
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased It seems clear to me that Aristotle said that physics must deal with vacuum not only because it is nice to know…
There Is Neither Attraction nor Attractive Force in Nature
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased Nothing is found more frequently among physicians and philosophers than the mention of an attractive quality or virtue. Although this word is…
There Are Movements of Sublunary Bodies in a Fluid Environment, Which Nobody Dealt with so Far
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased It is obvious that movements of sublunary bodies must occur in a space which must not be filled and occupied by hard,…
On the Nature and Cause of Fluidity
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased After having shown that water and air are weighing where they are and exert gravity and that there is no attraction in…
Explanation of the Fact that Watery Bodies When They Freeze Increase in Volume with an Enormous Force
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased Explanation of the Fact that Watery Bodies When They Freeze Increase…?>To crown the work we shall attempt, from the theory presented above,…
The Impetus of a Percussion Cannot Be Measured by the Simple Energy of Gravity
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased I had finished this book when I fell on the text in which the famous Gassendi refutes the assertion of Peter Cazreus…
On the Natural Motive Faculty of Gravity
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased After having presented the general theorems which are useful to investigate the composition of the movement of heavy bodies and its causes,…
