• W2015455846 abstract "WITHOUT wishing at all to underrate the apparent difficulty noticed by your New Zealand correspondent, Mr. J. W. Frankland (NATURE, vol. xxii. p. 317) in regard to my paper under the above heading (NATURE, vol. xxi. p. 256), as it would be against the interests of truth to do so; I may nevertheless call his attention to a letter of mine (NATURE, vol. xxi. p. 369), where ail attempt is made to meet the difficulty in question. The point is to account for the circumstance (admitting that it is rendered necessary by physical evidence) that the velocity of propagation of gravity must, at least, be very much greater than that of light. I will merely confine myself here to recapitulating one of the main conclusions in a somewhat different form, viz., it appears to be necessary to look to a separate medium for gravity, or (more accurately) to one medium with particles of two grades of dimensions; the one set of particles having very minute mass, and consequently enormous velocity, and concerned in the effects of gravity; the other set, of much greater mass and slower velocity, concerned in the phenomena of light. It will, I think, be so far tolerably evident that if the number of the more minute set of particles be comparatively very great, the pressure produced by them would be correspondingly great, and therefore these particles would be mainly (i.e., almost exclusively, if their number were sufficiently great)1 concerned in producing gravity. On the other hand, on account of the extreme velocity of these particles, they could not apparently be appreciably concerned in the phenomena of light, since the molecules of gross matter would vibrate among them without appreciable resistance. For it is a well-known dynamical fact that the resistance opposed to the motion of a body in a medium diminishes as the velocity of the particles of the medium increases. It may be worth observing; perhaps that this idea of three grades of dimensions in matter (viz. gross matter, light-carrying matter, and gravific matter) appears to be an old one. Thus a book was published in 1827 by Dr. Blair, formerly Regius Professor of Astronomy in the University of Edinburgh, entitled “Scientific Aphorisms” (to which my attention was called by Prof. Tait), where the idea of three grades of dimensions in matter is set forth, and a theory of gravity very similar to that of Le Sage expounded. Also M. Prevost (”Deux Traités de Physique mécanique”) expresses; I believe, the view that matter exists fundamentally in three grades of magnitude." @default.
