 On which the comment may be that one who had studied celestial mechanics as much as the reviewer has studied the general course of transformations, might similarly have remarked that the formula — " bodies attract one another directly as their masses...

...it does not prescribe the limits of variation of the variables. The law of gravitation tells us that bodies attract one another directly as their masses and inversely as the squares of their distances; it does not tell us how many bodies there are in the universe, or even the solor system, nor what their... | |
