...that in point of fact things do present themselves thus and so, eg, that bodies do attract each other directly as their masses and inversely as the squares of their distances. § 3. Jural Law: Its Rudimentary Forms. Law in the jural sense involves at least the further ideas... | |

...science. When astronomy speaks of two planets as attracting each other with a " force " which varies directly as their masses and inversely as the squares of their distances apart, it simply uses the phrase as a convenient metaphor by which to describe the manner in which... | |

...and phenomena. Thus? for example, that the planetary bodies attract one another with forces which are directly as their masses, and inversely as the squares of their distances, is a general fact; for the force really exists, and really acts by the law which is assigned to it.... | |
