| 34067 | He continues:-- How many testimonies of this violence which is in love, are daily found? |
| 34067 | Now which of these systems has ever consoled an afflicted heart, or repeopled a lonely one? |
| 34067 | This he promised to do and, as she found out from his servant( what is it these nuns do not find out?) |
| 34067 | What else could he say?" |
| 34067 | Which of these teachers has ever shown men how to wipe away a tear? |
| 1705 | But how determine this all- important number? |
| 1705 | For how could hair come from what is not hair? |
| 1705 | It is the answer to the question, What is the relation in bulk between a sphere and its circumscribing cylinder? |
| 1705 | Or flesh from what is not flesh?" |
| 1705 | Proximate causes known, he sought remoter causes; childlike, his inquiring mind was always asking, Why? |
| 1705 | To Italy? |
| 1705 | To get this clearly in mind, we must ask ourselves: What, then, is science? |
| 1705 | Was it he, perhaps, who taught the Greeks to strike a rising and swinging blow from the hip, as depicted in the famous metopes of the Parthenon? |
| 1705 | What, then, was the line of scientific induction that led Aristarchus to this wonderful goal? |
| 1705 | Wherein then lies the difference? |
| 1705 | Why can I not prognosticate as well as you?" |
| 1706 | ''How short?'' 1706 ''I have full faith in your revelations of the future: what say you of my pilgrimage in this life-- is it short or long?'' 1706 But if his power is infinite, why should not a greater, rather than a very small, part of it be revealed to me? 1706 But immediately we are met with the question: Why do no great original investigators appear during all these later centuries? 1706 But to whom? 1706 Could it be that it was the glass, and not the mercury, that caused it? 1706 For how could such a man be poor when, with a piece of metal and a few grains of magic powder, he was able to provide himself with gold? 1706 How could it be expected that science should flourish when the greatest minds of the age could concern themselves with problems such as these? 1706 How is this flight of the stone to be explained? 1706 How should we fare to- day if no new scientific books were being produced, and if the records of former generations were destroyed? 1706 How, otherwise, could they have prolonged their lives to nine and a half centuries? 1706 I asked myself if there were no such thing as a teacher in medicine, where could I learn this art best? 1706 May not this so- called centripetal force be identical with terrestrial gravitation? 1706 The question was, what became of it all? 1706 They disputed such important questions as, How many angels can stand upon the point of a needle? 1706 Would such be the force of gravitation acting at the distance of the moon if the power of gravitation varies inversely as the square of the distance? 1708 Are we justified in thinking that it ought to be the same in regard to the microbe of anthrax? 1708 But by what miracle have such documents been preserved through all these centuries? 1708 But does histology give any clew to the way in which such isolation may be effected? 1708 By what process could such selection be brought about among creatures in a state of nature? 1708 It was something to feel sure that species have varied; but how have such variations been brought about? 1708 Now, how has this been accomplished? 1708 That, too, is a poet''s dream; but is it only a dream? 1708 The flight of arrow- heads on wall or slab or tiny brick have surely a meaning; but how shall we guess that meaning? 1708 There exist many mucedines( Mucedinae?) 1708 Therefore, how can we experiment with the action of the air upon the anthrax virus with any expectation of making it less virulent? 1708 These must be words; but what words? 1708 What is it that happens in these eight days at 43 degrees that suffices to take away the virulence of the bacteria? 1708 What offices do these sets of organs perform in the great labor- specializing aggregation of cells which we call a living organism? 1708 What, then, does this imply? 1708 Whence came that primordial organism whose transmuted descendants make up the existing faunas and floras of the globe? 1708 Who can tell but that in time this pure air may become a fashionable article in luxury?... 1708 Why may not the modification of parts go on along devious lines until the remote descendants of an organism are utterly unlike that organism? 1708 Why may we not thus account for the development of various species of beings all sprung from one parent stock? 1708 Yet, on the other hand, could Darwin honorably do otherwise than publish his friend''s paper and himself remain silent? 14565 17th of July( 17th to the 26th of July?). 14565 Are these currents, as in Seebeck''s experiments, thermo- magnetic, and excited directly from unequal distribution of heat? 14565 But whence comes this form, which was first recognized by Schreiber as characteristic of the''severed''part of a rotating planetary body? 14565 Dare we hazard a conjecture on that which can not be an object of actual geognostic observation? 14565 Do gaseous fluids rise from the interior of the earth, and mix with the atmosphere? 14565 Indeed how can any facts of one observer in one place falsify the facts of another observer in another place? 14565 Must not these lie in deep valleys? 14565 Must we suppose that changes are actually in progress in the nebulous ring? 14565 On what did these so- called''most ancient''formations rest, if gneiss and mica schist must be regarded as changed sedimentary strata? 14565 When the questions are asked, what is it that burns in the volcano? 14565 Where, in this case, are we to seek the concealed channels by which the Plutonic action is conveyed? 14565 Why should the crust of the Earth have lost its property of being elevated in the ridges? 14565 and how much the mean annual temperature of Canada and the United States is lower than that of corresponding latitudes in Europe? 14565 multo clarius apparet, non tam reparandorum animalium causa, quam figurandarum variarum gentium(?) 14565 or are these meteorological processes the action of atmospheric electricity disturbed by the earthquake? 14565 or should we not rather regard them as induced by the position of the Sun and by solar heat? 14565 what excites the heat, fuses together earths and metals, and imparts to lava currents of thick layers a degree of heat that lasts for many years? 19080 But about Cyclops?" |
| 19080 | But about your father, Mr. Wallace-- do I know him? |
| 19080 | Herbert, do you believe in the actuality of matter? |
| 19080 | I have everything I want, everything I can use is right here; why should I think of uprooting my life? |
| 19080 | Is he a skilled and educated teacher? |
| 19080 | Where is the Botanical Garden? |
| 19080 | And after Socialism, what? |
| 19080 | But what should he do with all this mass of truth he had discovered? |
| 19080 | But where should he go-- what could he do? |
| 19080 | Do I then make a plea for ignorance? |
| 19080 | Father Caccini preached a sermon from the text,"Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?" |
| 19080 | Here was a pivotal point-- should he go and fight for the glory of Prussia? |
| 19080 | How am I to urge him to do that which, if I were in his place, I should most emphatically refuse to do? |
| 19080 | How would Rome receive the book? |
| 19080 | I once heard him interrupted in a lecture by a questioner who asked,"Why would you keep the Church intact?" |
| 19080 | If we ask,"What religion?" |
| 19080 | In how long a time? |
| 19080 | In reply to the question, Is marriage a failure? |
| 19080 | Like Napoleon he said:"The finances? |
| 19080 | Most of them have families dependent upon them-- do you wonder that it is a fight to the death? |
| 19080 | One professor told him he was about to take up Kepler''s Optics with some post- graduate students-- would young Mr. Newton come in? |
| 19080 | Science, forsooth? |
| 19080 | Sir Humphry Davy on being asked,"What is your greatest discovery?" |
| 19080 | Something was pulling it down: what was it? |
| 19080 | The question is this,"What can I do?" |
| 19080 | This astronomy was not designed to be very scientific, exact or truthful-- all they asked was,"Is it plausible?" |
| 19080 | Was he really my brother? |
| 19080 | What am I here for? |
| 19080 | What pulled it down? |
| 19080 | What shall a man desire more than this? |
| 19080 | What would Ireland do with freedom if she had it? |
| 19080 | When Ernst Haeckel was asked,"Who is your favorite author?" |
| 19080 | Where am I going? |
| 19080 | Who am I? |
| 19080 | Who made it? |
| 19080 | With the very first glimmering of intelligence, and as far back as history goes, man has always asked that question, also three others: Where am I? |
| 19080 | Would this tube show the stars magnified? |
| 30495 | * 5* THE NATURE OF EMANATIONS FROM RADIO- ACTIVE BODIES What, then, is the nature of these radiations? 30495 And have you got them all now?" |
| 30495 | Then how did he act? 30495 Who uses this material?" |
| 30495 | A strange trick, that, to play with an individual_ Ego_, is it not? |
| 30495 | And how is it that different kinds of atoms can hold to themselves such varying numbers of fellow- atoms-- oxygen one, hydrogen two, and so on? |
| 30495 | And when the goal is reached, what will be revealed? |
| 30495 | And why, at the same temperature, are some substances held together with such enormous rigidity, others so loosely? |
| 30495 | And''spectroscopes,''''photographs''--what, pray, are these? |
| 30495 | Are they actually material particles hurled through the ether? |
| 30495 | Are they destined throughout the sweep of time to keep up this celibate existence? |
| 30495 | But what if he had had a bucketful of the little boneless creatures at his disposal, as the worker at Naples now may have any day for the asking? |
| 30495 | But why go farther? |
| 30495 | But, for that matter, what is the nature of these intermolecular bonds in any case? |
| 30495 | Have these celibate atoms remained thus always isolated, taking no part in world- building? |
| 30495 | How might such insulation be accomplished? |
| 30495 | If this is true of the mere marble images, what shall we say of the emblems on the centre table? |
| 30495 | In other words, what is the real status, and the import and meaning, the_ raison d''être_, if you will, of the science of zoology to- day? |
| 30495 | Man still wages warfare on his fellow- man as he has done time out of mind; as he will do-- who shall say how long? |
| 30495 | Need I say that these again are troublous times? |
| 30495 | Or are they like light-- and possibly the Roentgen rays-- simply undulations in the ether? |
| 30495 | Or were we entering some Iowa village, where the first settlers still live who but yesterday banished the prairie- dog and the buffalo? |
| 30495 | Prom what non- human parent did the human race directly spring? |
| 30495 | QUERIES SUGGESTED BY THE NEW GASES Suppose that a few years ago you had asked some chemist,"What are the constituents of the atmosphere?" |
| 30495 | Should the whole fabric of classification be abandoned? |
| 30495 | The government promptly accepted the offer-- as why should it not, since it had at hand so easy a means of raising the necessary money? |
| 30495 | To be sure, he never catches the shrimp-- but what of that? |
| 30495 | Was he very proud and haughty, as if he could not speak to other people?" |
| 30495 | Was this, then, Jena, the home of traditions? |
| 30495 | What are the homologies of this form and that? |
| 30495 | What can it tell us of the story of animal creation? |
| 30495 | What gaps does it bridge? |
| 30495 | What its probable ancestry? |
| 30495 | What wonder, then, that the Briton speaks of the institution as the"Pantheon of Science"? |
| 30495 | What, then, is the present status of Haeckel''s genealogical tree regarding man''s most direct ancestor? |
| 30495 | What, then, is this all- compassing power of gravitation which occupies so central a position in the scheme of mechanical things? |
| 30495 | What, then, was to be done? |
| 30495 | Where are the remembrances of that extraordinary man whom the original charter describes as"our well- beloved Benjamin, Count of Rumford?" |
| 30495 | Who knows what are the conditions necessary to the evolution of the ever- present atoms into"vital"associations? |
| 30495 | Who shall say, then, what forlorn hope of to- day''s science may not be the conquering host of to- morrow? |
| 30495 | Why does not a lump of iron dissolve as readily as the lump of sugar in our bowl of water? |
| 30495 | a real lord there?" |
| 1707 | ( 2) JOULE OR MAYER? 1707 But how did the solar atmosphere determine the movements of the rotation and revolution of the planets and satellites? |
| 1707 | From whence came this heat which was continually given off in this manner, in the foregoing experiments? |
| 1707 | Is it possible that the heat could have been supplied by means of the iron bar to the end of which the blunt steel borer was fixed? 1707 Was it furnished by the air? |
| 1707 | Was it furnished by the small particles of metal detached from the larger solid masses on their being rubbed together? 1707 Was it furnished by the water which surrounded the machinery? |
| 1707 | What kind of proofs, therefore, could we reasonably expect to find of the origin at a particular period of a new species? 1707 And are not these the properties of ordinary tangible matter? 1707 And had not Faraday reached middle life before he turned his attention especially to electricity? 1707 And the question therefore arises, what other forms is force, which we have become acquainted with as falling force and motion, capable of assuming? 1707 Are we to infer, then, that the two Americas in their unions and disunions have juggled with the climate of the other hemisphere? 1707 But does this really mean that a full synopsis of the story of paleontology has been told? 1707 But have we any proof that such formation of rocks in an ocean- bed has, in fact, occurred? 1707 But how explain this strange phenomenon? 1707 But how shall we describe a process which nobody has seen performed and of which no written history gives any account? 1707 But if not air, what then? 1707 But what did Herschel learn regarding these awful depths of space and the stars that people them? 1707 Each star that blinked down at him as he rode in answer to a night- call seemed an interrogation- point asking, How do I exist? 1707 How could the old, familiar phenomenon, light, interest any one when the new agent, galvanism, was in view? 1707 How did they get there? 1707 How else came they to contain the shells of once living organisms imbedded in their depths? 1707 How else than through such formation in an ocean- bed came these rocks to be stratified? 1707 If the earth has been inhabited by successive populations of beings now extinct, how have all these creatures been destroyed? 1707 In any event, how chanced it that all were projected in nearly the same plane as we now find them? 1707 Is it not probable, then, that what we call matter consists merely of aggregations of infinitesimal vortex rings in the ether? 1707 Is our sun that centre? 1707 Or by the small neck of gun- metal by which the hollow cylinder was united to the cannon? 1707 Or is it possible that new species can be called into being from time to time, and yet that so astonishing a phenomenon can escape the naturalist? 1707 Seldom if ever was a great revolutionary doctrine expounded in briefer compass:What are we to understand by''forces''? |
| 1707 | Such perpendicular vibrations seem not to exist, else we might see around a corner; how explain their absence? |
| 1707 | The results? |
| 1707 | Then may not the new species of a later geological epoch be the modified lineal descendants of the extinct population of an earlier epoch? |
| 1707 | Through what agency has the ooze of the ocean- bed been transformed into solid rock? |
| 1707 | Was not the heat produced, or at least some part of it, occasioned by this friction of the piston? |
| 1707 | Were the planets struck from the sun by the chance impact of comets, as Buffon has suggested? |
| 1707 | What could they be? |
| 1707 | What had become of the fragments? |
| 1707 | What secrets may the stars hope to conceal when questioned by an instrument of such necromantic power? |
| 1707 | What then? |
| 1707 | What then? |
| 1707 | What, then, is this storm- centre? |
| 1707 | Whence now comes this quantity of heat, which by repeated shaking may be called into existence in the same apparatus as often as we please? |
| 1707 | Who remembers now that Robert Hooke contested with Newton the discovery of the doctrine of universal gravitation? |
| 1707 | Why have I not long since burned out if your theory of conservation be true? |
| 1707 | Why might not this debris solidify to form layers of rocks-- the basis of new continents? |
| 1707 | Why not, indeed? |
| 1707 | and how are different forces related to each other? |
| 1707 | and through what agency has this rock been lifted above the surface of the water to form new continents? |
| 1707 | or do they owe their origin to some unknown law? |
| 1707 | or thrown out by explosive volcanic action, in accordance with the theory of Dr. Darwin? |
| 36343 | But why should we suppose personality to involve limitation? |
| 36343 | Whither does the soul go? |
| 36343 | And so rapid and marvelous have been the discoveries that the human mind stands paralyzed with wonder and amazement and asks, What next? |
| 36343 | Are all Suns and Worlds Inhabited? |
| 36343 | Are all suns and worlds inhabited? |
| 36343 | Are these things consistent with a God who cares? |
| 36343 | Are you endowing them with the intellect of true manhood, or crystallizing into atoms all manner of distorted brains? |
| 36343 | But as only light came, did the"cause"bring it or did it come with its own velocity? |
| 36343 | But have we two kinds of energy? |
| 36343 | But is it right? |
| 36343 | But where is that wondrous shore, and where will all of the now living inhabitants of earth be a century hence? |
| 36343 | CHAPTER XVI ARE ALL SUNS AND WORLDS INHABITED? |
| 36343 | Can any one believe they are kept in their places by a mere balancing force? |
| 36343 | Can the soul partake of the character of electricity? |
| 36343 | Did it not reveal forces in nature that would allow men to hear voices at great distances? |
| 36343 | Does He make men of us with all the trouble and care that comes inside of seventy years, and then throw us away? |
| 36343 | He says:"What is it that holds together the parts of which this ultimate atom may be imagined to consist? |
| 36343 | How does it do it? |
| 36343 | How frail and uncertain is the argument based on such doubtful and assumed facts? |
| 36343 | I ask why? |
| 36343 | I said,"Can you do that again?" |
| 36343 | I was surprised and said,"Have you enough fire in your body to light the gas?" |
| 36343 | If the Creator of all keeps faith with all other creatures, why not with man? |
| 36343 | Is it not right, by the eternal law of cause and sequence and unanswerable logic, that life should return to the fountain of life? |
| 36343 | May not each planet have its own peculiar current, and its own peculiar attracting power, and the sun give each a different electricity? |
| 36343 | Of what substance are you moulding the grand army of the future race? |
| 36343 | The question may often arise, Does God perfect humanity and then destroy it? |
| 36343 | Then, is universal energy and law psychical or physical? |
| 36343 | There was no flow of lava, but can any one imagine the crater discharging what was said to have issued from it?... |
| 36343 | They have been the means of determining the answer to the one great question,"What is life?" |
| 36343 | Vibrations of what? |
| 36343 | Was the polestar ever obscured by the interposition of a world in formation? |
| 36343 | Wave motions of what? |
| 36343 | What cause exceeds the speed of light, which is deemed the swiftest thing in the universe? |
| 36343 | What constitutes the solidity of this bar of iron? |
| 36343 | What did the telephone reveal thirty years ago? |
| 36343 | What is electricity? |
| 36343 | What is this but pantheism of the rankest old, obsolete, pagan kind? |
| 36343 | What of the big fish that eat the little ones, or the destruction of life by flood and storm, or human trials, sickness and death? |
| 36343 | What was it surprised the scientists and came to us with many times the supposed speed of light? |
| 36343 | Why does the comet, when it approaches just so near to the sun, dart away so quickly? |
| 36343 | Why should man be an exception? |
| 36343 | Why? |
| 36343 | Why? |
| 36343 | Why? |
| 36343 | Why? |
| 36343 | Will man never cease slandering the good Deity, and libeling the beneficent Creator of all good? |
| 36343 | Will they listen to France''s Macedonian call and the law of love and life written in their womanly natures? |
| 36343 | Will they receive the gift of eternal life? |
| 36343 | what qualities are you weaving in your thread of thought? |
| 36343 | who can know? |
| 37427 | But how,you may ask,"are we to cultivate this sharpness of perception?" |
| 37427 | An assistant, who was at the time conducting a class in mineralogy, once said to me:"What am I to do? |
| 37427 | And then, if again you ask,"Can you catch John''s ball?" |
| 37427 | And what shall we say of the imagination? |
| 37427 | And, when you turn to your own experience, what is the outcome of all the time and labor spent on geography? |
| 37427 | Are those qualities attributes of the lump or of its parts? |
| 37427 | Are you in doubt in regard to a mineral specimen? |
| 37427 | Are you in doubt in regard to the reactions of the substance you are analyzing, whether they are really those of a metal you suspect to be present? |
| 37427 | But ask him,"Can you pitch a ball as well as your playmate?" |
| 37427 | But do we not forget that professor of Bologna, with his frogs''legs, who sowed the seed from which all this has sprung? |
| 37427 | But how is it now? |
| 37427 | But you may ask, How can such a difference of pressure exist on different surfaces exposed to one and the same medium? |
| 37427 | But, if the velocity changes in this way, you may ask, What meaning has the definite value given in our table? |
| 37427 | Do not smile at the enthusiasm which rates so high a purely intellectual achievement? |
| 37427 | Do you rejoin that we can see the suns in a stellar cluster, but can not even begin to see the molecules? |
| 37427 | Do you tell me that it is only granted to a few men to become scholars, and that you have been educated for some industrial pursuit? |
| 37427 | Do you tell me that the absurdities of Buffon were wisdom when compared with such wild speculations as these? |
| 37427 | Do you think me an enthusiast? |
| 37427 | For do not the same general principles apply to the acquisition of knowledge in all subjects? |
| 37427 | How many of the fundamental facts of this difficult subject can be made familiar to a child? |
| 37427 | How, then, can we save our theory by which we set so much, and rightly, because it has helped us so effectively in studying Nature? |
| 37427 | In the broad fields of Nature what portion does this science cover? |
| 37427 | In what, then, does this Baconian system consist? |
| 37427 | Is it her battlefields, her castles and baronial halls, or such spots as Stratford- on- Avon, Abbotsford, and Rydal Mount? |
| 37427 | Is it not because Homer sang, Phidias wrought, and Plato, Aristotle, Demosthenes, Thucydides, with a host of others, thought and wrote? |
| 37427 | Is it supposed that scientific scholarship is any more possible under such conditions? |
| 37427 | Is this heresy? |
| 37427 | Is this revolution? |
| 37427 | Now, what takes place when one mass of matter is driven away from another-- when a cannon- ball is driven out of a gun, for example? |
| 37427 | Of course, a good fairy comes to his aid, and what does she do? |
| 37427 | So far from this, if it were necessary to choose one of two systems, I should favor the classical; and why? |
| 37427 | Such questions as these will test the completeness of his knowledge: Why is the symbol of water H_{2}O? |
| 37427 | Suppose you make him do a lot of problems involving distances, velocities, and times, will he know any more about it? |
| 37427 | The seed has been sown-- what could we desire more? |
| 37427 | What does this mean? |
| 37427 | What had it secured? |
| 37427 | What information does the symbol CO_{2} give in regard to carbonic- dioxide gas? |
| 37427 | What is it that ennobles literary culture but the great minds which, through this culture, have honored the nations to which they belong? |
| 37427 | What, now, did these experiments prove? |
| 37427 | What, then, are the tests of true scientific scholarship? |
| 37427 | Whence has this material come? |
| 37427 | Where can you find a wider field for its exercise than that opened by the discoveries of modern science? |
| 37427 | Why is it that, after twenty centuries, the memory of ancient Greece is still enshrined among the most cherished traditions of our race? |
| 37427 | Yet, was that conquest any less important to the world? |
| 35489 | ''Dead, sir?'' 35489 For what, my dear friend?" |
| 35489 | How is it,she says,"that you look forward only with distaste to the practice of medicine? |
| 35489 | Is it not finished? |
| 35489 | Mr. Morse still objected to sending the note, when the fair one, brightening up, asked,''You will, then, send_ me_ on, wo n''t you?'' 35489 What chance have you,"said I,"to follow this man?" |
| 35489 | What then is the office of vitality? 35489 ''What is the use of a library to a child an hour old?'' 35489 And can your ladyship resolve to spend the rest of your days in grief and sickness? 35489 And why? 35489 At Mill Grove the weeks passed pleasantly,--is not the world always beautiful when we love somebody? 35489 But what is reflection of light? |
| 35489 | But, according to this view, what is vitality? |
| 35489 | Calling his son, who was playing in the room, the Dean said,"Frankie, what are these?" |
| 35489 | Did any of those present remember how Congress allowed him nearly to die of despair and want, only a few years before? |
| 35489 | Did ever man or woman achieve anything worthy without these dreams? |
| 35489 | Didst fancy life one summer holiday, With lessons none to learn, and naught but play? |
| 35489 | For what profession should he study? |
| 35489 | Has not God waited six thousand years for one to contemplate his works?" |
| 35489 | Have you reflected seriously before setting aside this profession? |
| 35489 | He longed to gain access to Dr. Stobæus''s library, but how should it be accomplished? |
| 35489 | He must be educated, but how? |
| 35489 | He wrote back to his father:"Oh, is it possible? |
| 35489 | His host, seeing him standing thoughtfully at the window, said,"Why so sad?" |
| 35489 | How could he support his family? |
| 35489 | How could the property be used"for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men"? |
| 35489 | I remember his patient look when he said once,''Do n''t you think you could not come in again; I have been interrupted very often?''... |
| 35489 | I said, hurriedly:''Would ten dollars be of any service?'' |
| 35489 | If to the moon, why not to the planets? |
| 35489 | If water could be decomposed by it, why not some substances heretofore regarded as simple or elementary bodies? |
| 35489 | Is it because perfection attained is not best for mortals? |
| 35489 | Is not this a prospect to keep up the most flagging spirit? |
| 35489 | On the contrary, why does flame or smoke always mount upward, though no force is used to send them in that direction? |
| 35489 | Once he said to a German student:"Tell me, candidly, are you rich, and can you afford it? |
| 35489 | Shall I never see my dear wife again? |
| 35489 | The home in Germany did not prove a happy one, but how could it without William? |
| 35489 | The question among naturalists was,"How can plants and animals have become thus changed?" |
| 35489 | The question then is, what has become of the material which filled the sac of the potato? |
| 35489 | They were all disciples of Aristotle, and had not Galileo, when a boy among them, dared to oppose the great Grecian? |
| 35489 | Was ever a man more honored? |
| 35489 | Were not you and I acquainted for three months before we discovered how completely we were made one for the other? |
| 35489 | What can I do? |
| 35489 | What had woke us all up so suddenly? |
| 35489 | What was to be done? |
| 35489 | When will the world learn toleration for those whose opinions are different from the popular thought? |
| 35489 | Why are so many of the best and sweetest things in this world a little too late in their coming? |
| 35489 | Why does it stop at a certain distance, and then return to you?... |
| 35489 | Why is this in the order of nature, that there is such a difference in the duration and destruction of her works? |
| 35489 | Why is this? |
| 35489 | Will it not be as good as to see his prescription at the apothecary''s? |
| 35489 | Will it not seem strange when the largest and finest book in papa''s library is one written by his Louis? |
| 35489 | Would he have become learned or distinguished? |
| 35489 | Would it pass the Senate? |
| 35489 | is it possible? |
| 35489 | well, and what of that? |

| 35489 | who can blame him that he hated poverty for his brilliant son? |

| 34912 | Of what use,they asked,"was geometry to a girl?" |
| 34912 | [ 228] And what shall we say of those exquisite creations of woman''s brain and hand-- needle- point and pillow lace? 34912 [ 259] All this is true, but what does it prove? |
| 34912 | And was not the school of Pythagoras at Crotona continued after his death by his daughter and his wife, Theano? |
| 34912 | And, in reality, is it the personal element alone that is in the long run perennial? |
| 34912 | But aside from what she achieved indirectly through the habitués of her salon, what has this supremely clever woman left to the world? |
| 34912 | But shall we affirm that she will never give to the world imperishable works like_ Paradise Lost_,_ Don Quixote_ or the_ Immaculate Conception_? |
| 34912 | But who was the originator of the idea of utilizing the atmosphere for the production of nitrates? |
| 34912 | By what process can uranium furnish the same rays without expenditure of energy and without undergoing apparent modification? |
| 34912 | Did not Themista philosophize with the sages of Greece? |
| 34912 | Does not Plato have Aspasia speak in his dialogues? |
| 34912 | Does not Sappho hold the lyre at the same time as Alcæus and Pindar? |
| 34912 | For was not the learned and eloquent Aspasia her contemporary? |
| 34912 | Has any woman writer ever received higher praise, and from one so competent to express an opinion as the scholarly divine of Auxerre? |
| 34912 | How many men are there who give more advanced mathematical courses than these? |
| 34912 | How much of the literary work of the women of to- day will receive recognition twenty centuries hence? |

| 34912 | Is it supposed that such felicitous thoughts do not occur to women? |
| 34912 | Is uranium the only body whose compounds emit similar rays? |

| 34912 | Swetchine-- full two centuries-- bequeathed to us that is worth preserving? |
| 34912 | The mystery, then, is, what were the sources of_ Physica_? |
| 34912 | The passage is''His disciples came and wondered that with the women he was_ standing and talking_''...."Why was our Lord standing? |
| 34912 | Was not it women to whom our Lord first appeared after His resurrection? |
| 34912 | Was she excluded from this list for the same reason that Agnesi was ineligible to membership in the French Academy-- because she was a woman? |
| 34912 | What was to be done? |
| 34912 | What, then, must have been the total amount used through the world for cereals and other crops that need constant fertilizing? |
| 34912 | Who took out the first patent for a process for making nitrates by using the nitrogen of the air? |
| 34912 | Yet stronger far than what most men can write; Had death delayed, whose fame had equaled hers?" |

| 22085 | In realising this, is our sense of final mystery of things deepened or lessened? 22085 A failure? 22085 And does the plant then exert itself to make one overwhelming reply, after which response ceases altogether? 22085 And is it not shocks of adversity, and not cotton- wool protection, that evolve true manhood? 22085 And is it not shocks of adversity, and not cotton- wool protection, that evolve true manhood? 22085 And lastly, when by the blow of death, life itself is finally extinguished, will it be possible to detect the critical moment? 22085 Another striking experiment was to show how ordinary plants could be made sensitive by the mere process of amputation of the balancing half? 22085 Are there any such spontaneously beating tissues in a plant? 22085 Are these dead failures, so utterly unrelated to some great success that we may acclaim to day? 22085 Are they your countrymen? 22085 Are we of to- day to be debtors only? 22085 Are we to be a living nation, to be proud of our ancestry and to try to win renown by continuous achievements? 22085 By what favourable circumstances will this rate of transmission become enhanced, and by what will be retarded or arrested? 22085 Can anything small or circumscribed ever satisfy the mind of India? 22085 Could plants be made similarly to write their own autographs revealing their hidden story? 22085 DUTY TO OUR COUNTRY And lastly, what are our duties to our country? 22085 DUTY TO SELF As regards duty to self, can there be anything so inclusive as being true to your manhood? 22085 Do you think he suffered in vain and that his voice remained unheard? 22085 Does advance of science hold any such possibility? 22085 Does she not realise that it is helpless passivity that directly provokes aggression? 22085 Does she not realise that it is helpless passivity that directly provokes aggression?... 22085 Does this latent period undergo any variation with external conditions? 22085 For do we not find something very like it in Mediaeval Europe? 22085 For the attainment of this exalted condition, also, is it not necessary to have previous storage, with a consequent bubbling overflow? 22085 For the trust that you imposed on me could I do anything less than place before you the highest that I knew? 22085 Has her own history and the teaching of the past prepared her for some temporary and quite subordinate gain? 22085 Has not the recent happenings in China served as an object lesson? 22085 Have not the ballads of these illiterates rendered into English by our Poet touched profoundly the hearts of the very elect of the West? 22085 Have not the stories of their common life appealed to the common kinship of humanity? 22085 How are we to know what unseen changes take place within the plant? 22085 How are we to magnify this so as to make it instantly measurable? 22085 How chaotic appear the happenings in Nature? 22085 How circumscribed was their knowledge? 22085 How did these problems first dawn in the minds of some men who forecast themselves by half a century? 22085 How do we realise his sufferings? 22085 How does the plant then give its last answer? 22085 How does the plant then, give this last answer? 22085 How fared their hopes, how did their dreams become buried in oblivion? 22085 How is the hidden to be made manifest? 22085 How then are we to know what unseen changes take place within the plant? 22085 How then was it that these pulsations became spontaneous? 22085 How then was it that these pulsations became spontaneous? 22085 How were the invisible, internal changes to be made externally visible? 22085 If it be excited or depressed by some special circumstance, how are we, on the outside, to be made aware of this? 22085 If so, again, at what rate does the nervous impulse travel the plant? 22085 If so, is there anything analogous to the nerve of the animal? 22085 Illiterate in what sense? 22085 Is it not rather that science evokes in us a deeper sense of awe? 22085 Is it possible in any way to have these revealed to us? 22085 Is it possible that in plants also any parallel phenomena might be observed? 22085 Is it possible to counteract the effect of one by another? 22085 Is it possible to make the plant itself record this rate and its variations? 22085 Is it possible to make the plant itself write down this excessively minute time- interval? 22085 Is it possible to make the plants write down their own autographs and thus reveal their history? 22085 Is it to be under hopeless compulsion or of voluntary acceptance? 22085 Is the burden to fall on the weak or the strong? 22085 Is the power with which the people endow their king identical with the power of wealth with which we enrich him by paying him his Royal dues? 22085 Is there any resemblance between the nervous impulse in plants and animals? 22085 It is true that here we suffer from many difficulties, but how does it help us, to envy the good fortune of others? 22085 Like the great human system plants were subject to periodic conscianimal[_ sic._, consciousness?] 22085 May it not be said that this story has a pathos of its own beyond any that we may have conceived? 22085 May it not be said that this their story has a pathos of its own, beyond any that the poets have conceived? 22085 Next, does the effect of the blow given outside reach the interior of the plant? 22085 Now, what is to be the future of our nation? 22085 Of these which is more real, the material body or the image which is independent of it? 22085 Perhaps some of us can tell from our own experience whether similar differences obtain amongst human kind or not? 22085 SENSITIVE OR INSENSITIVE? 22085 Supposing that the plant does not give answers to external shock, what time elapses between the shock and the reply? 22085 THE TWO IDEALS What is it that India is to win and maintain? 22085 The mind can not grasp the meaning of this stupendous magnification; how then could we translate it in terms which may be understood? 22085 Then how are we to make this invisible visible? 22085 They may say that you are but a small handful, what of the vast illiterate millions? 22085 They may well be proud of a consecrated life-- consecrated to what? 22085 Was her mind paralysed by weak superstitious fears? 22085 Were they afraid that the march of knowledge was dangerous to true faith? 22085 What are the variations in this infinitesimal growth under external shock? 22085 What coercion do they exercise upon it? 22085 What happens, then, to the incident energy? 22085 What is it that has bridged over the distance and blotted out all differences? 22085 What is that subtle bond by which all distances are bridged over, and by which an individual life becomes merged in larger life? 22085 What is the difference between the living and the dead? 22085 What is the machinery which sets a going a world movement for the redress of wrong? 22085 What is the meaning of spontaneity? 22085 What subtle impress did they leave behind? 22085 What subtle impress do they leave behind? 22085 What was it that stood in her way? 22085 What would she do with it, if it did not raise her above death? 22085 Where lies the secret of that potency which makes certain efforts apparently doomed to failure, rise renewed from beneath the smouldering ashes? 22085 Which is more potent, Matter or Spirit? 22085 Which of these is undecaying, and which of these is beyond the reach of death? 22085 Who cares? 22085 Why does the water- lily''Kumud or Nymphaea''keep awake all night long and close her petals during the day? 22085 in which the human mind is some day to realise the uniform march of sequence, order and law? 22085 what changes are induced by the action of drugs or poisons? 22085 will the action of poison change with the dose? 5694 ... What more shall I say? 5694 And even all said, what purpose can be served by the gratuitous hypothesis of contact- action or communicated motion? 5694 And how comes it that spirits and fuliginous vapours can pass hither and thither without admixture or confusion? 5694 And how should it be otherwise? 5694 And how should the arteries of the foetus draw air into their cavities through the abdomen of the mother and the body of the womb? 5694 And how should the semiluftars hinder the regress of spirits from the aorta upon each supervening diastole of the heart? 5694 And so also of the blood, wherefore does it precede all the rest? 5694 And so of all the other kinds of pulse, what may be the cause and indication of each? 5694 And then, wherefore is there neither swelling nor repletion of the veins, nor any sign or symptom of attraction or afflux, above the ligature? 5694 At the very beginning of these researches, for they reveal an entirely new field, what must be insistently demanded? 5694 Besides, how can their diastole draw spirits from the heart to warm the body and its parts, and means of cooling them from without? 5694 But how can parts attract in which the heat and life are almost extinct? 5694 But immediately afterwards M. Traube adds:Have we here a confirmation of Pasteur''s theory? |
| 5694 | But is not the thing rather arranged as it is by the consummate providence of nature? |
| 5694 | But what is the nature of these vibrios? |
| 5694 | But what was this disease? |
| 5694 | But why should it be slower? |
| 5694 | But, if oxygen destroys the vibrios, how can septicemia exist, since atmospheric air is present everywhere? |
| 5694 | Can this organized being live without air? |
| 5694 | Does the blood accumulate below the ligature coming through the veins, or through the arteries, or passing by certain hidden porosities? |
| 5694 | For how can two bodies mutually connected, which are simultaneously distended, attract or draw anything from one another? |
| 5694 | How can blood, exposed to air, become septic through the dust the air contains? |
| 5694 | How can such facts be brought in accord with the germ theory? |
| 5694 | If the mitral cuspidate valves do not prevent the egress of fuliginous vapours to the lungs, how should they oppose the escape of air? |
| 5694 | In the same way, in considering the pulse, why should one kind of pulse indicate death, another recovery? |
| 5694 | In what manner were these dogmas at length exploded? |
| 5694 | Is PURE PUS, though contained in a smallpox pustule, ever capable of producing the smallpox perfectly? |
| 5694 | Is the ferment, in every fermentation properly so called, an organized being? |
| 5694 | Is this last fact to be explained by the greater quantity of yeast formed in B? |
| 5694 | May not these images be like the shades of the unborn in Virgil''s Elysium-- the archetypes of men not yet called into existence?'' |
| 5694 | May we not be looking into the womb of Nature, and not her grave? |
| 5694 | Must we, then, believe that such vibrios are absolutely different from those of butyric fermentations? |
| 5694 | Nay, has not the blood itself or spirit an obscure palpitation inherent in it, which it has even appeared to me to retain after death? |
| 5694 | Need we add that this assertion is based on no substantial foundation? |
| 5694 | On the other hand, in what way ought this crushing to affect the hypothesis of hemi- organism? |
| 5694 | Or does this, which occurred in my own case, happen from the same cause? |
| 5694 | Or wherefore is there a pulse in the pulmonary artery? |
| 5694 | Seeing, therefore, that the moderately tight ligature renders the veins turgid and distended, and the whole hand full of blood, I ask, whence is this? |
| 5694 | Shall we not be able to account for this on a rational principle?] |
| 5694 | The question now arose, was this yeast, which had developed wholly as an ordinary fungus, still capable of manifesting the character of a ferment? |
| 5694 | There may be some among those whom I address who are disposed to ask the question, What course are we to follow in relation to this matter? |
| 5694 | Was I justified in calling this communication"ON THE EXTENSION OF THE GERM THEORY TO THE ETIOLOGY OF CERTAIN COMMON DISEASES?" |
| 5694 | What but a difference in the organization of glandular bodies constitutes the difference in the qualities of the fluids secreted? |
| 5694 | What then do we see, in the results that I have just brought out? |
| 5694 | What were these results? |
| 5694 | Where can these corpuscles originate? |
| 5694 | Why could not this salt equally well support the life of the vibrios? |
| 5694 | Why do we always find this vessel full of sluggish blood, never of air, whilst in the lungs we find abundance of air remaining? |
| 5694 | Why does an artery differ so much from a vein in the thickness and strength of its coats? |
| 5694 | Why does not the pulmonary vein pulsate, seeing that it is numbered among the arteries? |
| 5694 | Why, for instance, has Dr. Brefeld omitted the facts bearing on the life of the vibrios of butyric fermentation? |
| 5694 | [ Footnote: In what way are we to account for so great a difference between the two fermentations that we have just described? |
| 5694 | [ Footnote: What effect would a similar treatment produce in inoculation for the smallpox?] |
| 5694 | and why was nature reduced to the necessity of adding another ventricle for the sole purpose of nourishing the lungs? |
| 5694 | closed? |
| 5694 | how should the mitral valves prevent the regurgitation of air and not of blood? |
| 5694 | or being simultaneously contracted, receive anything from each other? |

| 15905 | And having made his election, what reasons has he to give for his choice? |
| 15905 | And if he is not, in what sense has this part of the uniformitarian doctrine, as he defines it, lowered its pretensions to represent scientific truth? |
| 15905 | And if so, how can agnosticism be the"mere negation of the physicist"? |
| 15905 | And now, what is to be said to Mr. Harrison''s remarkable deliverance"On the future of agnosticism"? |
| 15905 | And what is historical truth but that of which the evidence bears strict scientific investigation? |

| 15905 | And what was the exact nature of the advice given? |
| 15905 | And when the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? |
| 15905 | And, finally, how is this account to be reconciled with those in the first and third gospels-- which, as we have seen, disagree with one another? |
| 15905 | Are the authors of the versions in the second and third gospels really independent witnesses? |
| 15905 | Are there then any Christians who say that they know nothing about the unseen world and the future? |
| 15905 | Are there, then, any"conclusions"that are not"purely mental"? |
| 15905 | Are we going back to the days of the Judges, when wealthy Micah set up his private ephod, teraphim, and Levite? |
| 15905 | Are we to accept the Jesus of the second, or the Jesus of the fourth Gospel, as the true Jesus? |
| 15905 | But if the primitive Nazarenes of whom the Acts speak were orthodox Jews, what sort of probability can there be that Jesus was anything else? |
| 15905 | But is it true? |
| 15905 | But to how much does this so- called claim amount? |
| 15905 | But what conceivable motive could"Mark"have for omitting it? |
| 15905 | But what is the evidence in this case? |
| 15905 | But why all this more recent coil about the Gadarene swine and the like? |
| 15905 | But why should a man be expected to call himself a"miscreant"or an"infidel"? |

| 15905 | The plain answer to this question is, Why should anybody be called upon to say how he knows that which he does not know? |
| 15905 | The preacher asks,"Might not there be a suspension of a lower law by the intervention of a higher?" |
| 15905 | The question for me is purely one of evidence: is the evidence adequate to bear out the theory, or is it not? |

| 15905 | Was not their chief,"James, the brother of the Lord,"reverenced alike by Sadducee, Pharisee, and Nazarene? |
| 15905 | Was that prince of agnostics, David Hume, particularly imbued with physical science? |

| 39713 | Burali- Forti''s reasoning,I said,"does it not seem to you irreproachable?" |

| 39713 | 2º Once in possession of the concept of the mathematical continuum, is one safe from contradictions analogous to those which gave birth to it? |
| 39713 | A naturalist who never had studied the elephant except in the microscope, would he think he knew the animal adequately? |
| 39713 | After all, have we any other reason to believe in the existence of material objects? |
| 39713 | After what we have just said, is there still need to answer this objection? |
| 39713 | Among all these possible explanations, how make a choice for which the aid of experiment fails us? |
| 39713 | Among the terms proportional to the squares of the velocities, how distinguish those which come from_ T_ or from_ U_? |
| 39713 | Among these thousand routes opening before us, it is necessary to make a choice, at least provisional; in this choice, what shall guide us? |
| 39713 | And Newton''s law itself? |
| 39713 | And after that? |
| 39713 | And are such signals inconceivable, if we admit with Laplace that universal gravitation is transmitted a million times more rapidly than light? |
| 39713 | And besides, why do we speak of measuring? |
| 39713 | And does our ether really exist? |
| 39713 | And first of all, are they such uncompromising realists as has been said? |
| 39713 | And first what does this question mean? |
| 39713 | And first what should we understand by objectivity? |
| 39713 | And first, can we conserve the principles of relativity? |
| 39713 | And first, what is chance? |
| 39713 | And for these, then, what is the measure of their objectivity? |
| 39713 | And further: how is error possible in mathematics? |
| 39713 | And here a question arises: How can a demonstration not sufficiently rigorous for the analyst suffice for the physicist? |
| 39713 | And how is this deduction made? |
| 39713 | And if it can not, how dare we reason about it? |
| 39713 | And if the law should one day be found false? |
| 39713 | And if there are, how recognize them? |
| 39713 | And if there were not this accord, should we not have also the right to say experience had proven the falsity of the non- Euclidean geometry? |
| 39713 | And if we wish to combat them, which should be favored? |
| 39713 | And in mathematics? |
| 39713 | And inversely, if the experiment succeeds, shall we believe that we have demonstrated all the hypotheses at once? |
| 39713 | And now, why have I entitled this chapter_ French Geodesy_? |
| 39713 | And on the other hand what means the phrase''very complex''? |
| 39713 | And then a question presents itself: among all these quantities measured experimentally, which shall we choose to represent the parameters_ q_? |
| 39713 | And then comes a question: Is not this amorphous continuum, that our analysis has allowed to survive, a form imposed upon our sensibility? |
| 39713 | And then when we ask: Can one imagine non- Euclidean space? |
| 39713 | And then, has one the right to say that the scientist creates the scientific fact? |
| 39713 | And this convention of language once adopted, when I shall be asked: Is it such an hour? |
| 39713 | And to return to America, is not the_ Monist_ published at Chicago, that review which even to us seems bold and yet which finds readers? |
| 39713 | And to- day, a century and a half after the victory of the Newtonians, think you geodesy has nothing more to teach us? |
| 39713 | And what gives us the right to make this hypothesis? |
| 39713 | And what group? |
| 39713 | And what is the null class? |
| 39713 | And why are they more noteworthy? |
| 39713 | And why do we say this transportation is effected without deformation? |
| 39713 | And why may this probability be regarded as constant within a small interval? |
| 39713 | And why? |
| 39713 | And yet if we accept Gouy''s ideas on the Brownian movement, does not the microscope seem on the point of showing us something analogous? |
| 39713 | And yet is this legitimate, if the unknown be the simple and the known the complex? |
| 39713 | And yet, in this case, would it have any meaning, to say the earth turns round? |
| 39713 | And yet, think you the partisans of the kinetic theory are adversaries of determinism? |
| 39713 | And, in this latter case, do we not risk marring everything? |
| 39713 | And, this group chosen, which of its sub- groups shall we take to characterize a point of space? |
| 39713 | And, yet, would it not be more logical in remaining silent? |
| 39713 | Another thing: whence does space get its quantitative character? |
| 39713 | Are not appearances against him? |
| 39713 | Are the chances that these circles will cover a great number of times the celestial sphere? |
| 39713 | Are the differential equations of the problem too simple for us to apply the laws of chance? |
| 39713 | Are the law of acceleration, the rule of the composition of forces then only arbitrary conventions? |
| 39713 | Are there more points in space than points in a plane? |
| 39713 | Are these mechanical actions too small to be measured, or are they accessible to experiment? |
| 39713 | Are they absolutely refractory, I do not say to metaphysic, but at least to everything metaphysical? |
| 39713 | Are they disguised conventions? |
| 39713 | Are they experimental verities? |
| 39713 | Are they imposed on us by logic? |
| 39713 | Are they obtainable by deductive reasoning? |
| 39713 | Are they synthetic_ a priori_ judgments, as Kant said? |
| 39713 | Are they the characteristics of a form imposed either upon our sensibility or upon our understanding? |
| 39713 | Are they then arbitrary? |
| 39713 | Are we absolutely sure they are unimportant? |
| 39713 | Are we on the eve of a second crisis? |
| 39713 | Because it is''lived,''that is, because we love it and believe in it? |
| 39713 | Besides how do we know whether this law, true for so many centuries, will still be true next year? |
| 39713 | Besides, do you think they have always marched step by step with no vision of the goal they wished to attain? |
| 39713 | But I can understand also: Will such a chemical effect happen? |
| 39713 | But am I sure the body_ P_ has retained the same weight when I have transported it from the first body to the second? |
| 39713 | But are there any simple facts? |
| 39713 | But at what moment should we stop? |
| 39713 | But by what right do we consider as equal these two figures which the Euclidean geometers call two circles with the same radius? |
| 39713 | But can we not then pass over immediately to the goal? |
| 39713 | But can we regret that earthly paradise where man brute- like was really immortal in knowing not that he must die? |
| 39713 | But could I not just as well say: The points which turn up on the two dice can form 6 × 7/2= 21 different combinations? |
| 39713 | But could not experience have given a contrary result? |
| 39713 | But did not M. LeRoy make it still too great? |
| 39713 | But do you think mathematics has attained absolute rigor without making any sacrifice? |
| 39713 | But even stopping short of such models, does he not already expose himself to the same danger? |
| 39713 | But even this, what does it mean? |
| 39713 | But for that how does he proceed? |
| 39713 | But has any one ever experimented on bodies withdrawn from the action of every force? |
| 39713 | But has even this any meaning? |
| 39713 | But have we the right to admit the hypothesis of central forces? |
| 39713 | But he means something more; and we think we understand it because we think we know what impact is in itself; why? |
| 39713 | But how can it be possible that there are several parameters whose variations are independent? |
| 39713 | But how do we decide that this object is more noteworthy? |
| 39713 | But how does one perceive these analogies and these differences? |
| 39713 | But how generalize? |
| 39713 | But how has he not understood that what remained to do was not less considerable and would be not less profitable? |
| 39713 | But how have the stars composing it reached all at the same time adult age, an age so briefly to endure? |
| 39713 | But how is this prediction made? |
| 39713 | But how many different ideas are hidden under this same word? |
| 39713 | But how measure force, or mass? |
| 39713 | But how much after? |
| 39713 | But how much heat would thus be produced? |
| 39713 | But how reconcile that with what we have said above on the absence of a noteworthy proportion of dark matter? |
| 39713 | But how shall we ascertain experimentally whether it belongs to this or that concrete object? |
| 39713 | But how shall we justify it in the presence of discoveries that show us every day new details that are richer and more complex? |
| 39713 | But how shall we recognize that the antecedents_ A_ and_ A''_ are''slightly different''? |
| 39713 | But how should electricity in its turn enter into the general unity, how should it be reduced to the universal mechanism? |
| 39713 | But if truth be the sole aim worth pursuing, may we hope to attain it? |
| 39713 | But in the end the Copernicus would come-- how? |
| 39713 | But is it always needful to say it so many times? |
| 39713 | But is it at least logic, or, better, is it correct? |
| 39713 | But is that true? |
| 39713 | But is the art of sound reasoning not also a precious thing, which the professor of mathematics ought before all to cultivate? |
| 39713 | But is this definition altogether satisfactory? |
| 39713 | But may not this assemblage be compared to that of the molecules of a gas, whose properties the kinetic theory of gases has made known to us? |
| 39713 | But of what importance is that? |
| 39713 | But once equal, if asked about the anterior state, what can we answer? |
| 39713 | But still more; how define energy itself? |
| 39713 | But then doubtless men can no longer live and must give place to other beings-- should I say far smaller or far larger? |
| 39713 | But then why have we this right? |
| 39713 | But then, if experiment is everything, what place will remain for mathematical physics? |
| 39713 | But then, what have we gained by this stroke? |
| 39713 | But then, why is the principle true only if the motion of the movable axes is rectilinear and uniform? |
| 39713 | But then, why not say the mass is the quotient of the force by the acceleration? |
| 39713 | But this hypothesis is improbable; why, in fact, would all the corpuscles of the same mass take always the same velocity? |
| 39713 | But this is not enough; who does not feel that this is still to leave to chance too great a rôle? |
| 39713 | But this simplicity being only apparent, will the ground be firm enough? |
| 39713 | But to answer the question: Is this theorem true? |
| 39713 | But to know this is to know something and then why tell us we can know nothing? |
| 39713 | But we always meet again the same difficulty; at what precise moment does it begin to be too much so? |
| 39713 | But what could they deduce from it? |
| 39713 | But what does that mean? |
| 39713 | But what does this signify? |
| 39713 | But what good is it? |
| 39713 | But what is chance? |
| 39713 | But what is the nature of these rules? |
| 39713 | But whence came the error of this philosopher? |
| 39713 | But whence can come to us this revelation, if not from the accord of a theory with experiment? |
| 39713 | But where is the simple fact? |
| 39713 | But why assemble these elements in this way when a thousand other combinations were possible? |
| 39713 | But why? |
| 39713 | But why? |
| 39713 | But why? |
| 39713 | But, after all, what have we done? |
| 39713 | But, first, what do you understand by geometric properties of the bodies? |
| 39713 | But, one will say, if raw experience can not legitimatize reasoning by recurrence, is it so of experiment aided by induction? |
| 39713 | By operating upon the canal rays as Kaufmann did upon the[ beta] rays? |
| 39713 | By what mechanism? |
| 39713 | By what right do we strive to put them into the same mold, to measure them by the same standard? |
| 39713 | CHAPTER III MATHEMATICS AND LOGIC INTRODUCTION Can mathematics be reduced to logic without having to appeal to principles peculiar to mathematics? |
| 39713 | CHAPTER IV CHANCE I"How dare we speak of the laws of chance? |
| 39713 | CHAPTER IX THE FUTURE OF MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS_ The Principles and Experiment._--In the midst of so much ruin, what remains standing? |
| 39713 | CHAPTER VII THE HISTORY OF MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS_ The Past and the Future of Physics._--What is the present state of mathematical physics? |
| 39713 | CHAPTER VIII THE PRESENT CRISIS OF MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS_ The New Crisis._--Are we now about to enter upon a third period? |
| 39713 | Can it even be defined? |
| 39713 | Can it return of itself? |
| 39713 | Can logic give it to us? |
| 39713 | Can one apply to all matter what has been proved only for such light corpuscles, which are a mere emanation of matter and perhaps not true matter? |
| 39713 | Can science teach us the true relations of things? |
| 39713 | Can that be regarded as a true solution? |
| 39713 | Can the straight line be defined? |
| 39713 | Can this demonstration be deduced from experiments or from_ a priori_ considerations? |
| 39713 | Can this law be verified by experiment? |
| 39713 | Can we not be content with just the bare experiment? |
| 39713 | Can we show this deformation? |
| 39713 | Can we subscribe to this conclusive condemnation? |
| 39713 | Can we without danger act as if it were? |
| 39713 | Complex causes we have said produce a blend more and more intimate, but after how long a time will this blend satisfy us? |
| 39713 | Consequently, how distinguish the two parts of energy? |
| 39713 | Considering the slight density of the milky way, is it the image of gaseous matter or of radiant matter? |
| 39713 | Could Galileo and the Grand Inquisitor, to settle the matter, appeal to the witness of their senses? |
| 39713 | Could it be otherwise? |
| 39713 | Could we recognize with a little attention that this pure intuition itself could not do without the aid of the senses? |
| 39713 | Do we find it in nature, or do we ourselves introduce it there? |
| 39713 | Do we say that it is impossible for us to understand anything about this machine so long as we are not permitted to take it to pieces? |
| 39713 | Do you think American geometers are concerned only about applications? |
| 39713 | Do you think that in such a world we should be what we are? |
| 39713 | Do you think the moralists themselves are irreproachable when they come down from their pedestal? |
| 39713 | Do you think the second phase could have come into existence without the first? |
| 39713 | Does it make us understand its unity and harmony? |
| 39713 | Does it mean that we_ represent_ to ourselves external objects in geometric space? |
| 39713 | Does the earth rotate? |
| 39713 | Does the harmony the human intelligence thinks it discovers in nature exist outside of this intelligence? |
| 39713 | Does the mathematical method proceed from the particular to the general, and, if so, how then can it be called deductive? |
| 39713 | Does this form exist, or, if you choose, can we represent to ourselves space of more than three dimensions? |
| 39713 | Does this mean that nothing is left of this objection of the philosophers? |
| 39713 | Does this mean that our most legitimate, most imperative aspiration is at the same time the most vain? |
| 39713 | Does this mean that the definition guarantees, as it should, the existence of the object defined? |
| 39713 | Does this mean that these atoms or these cells constitute reality, or rather the sole reality? |
| 39713 | Does this mean the work of Fresnel was in vain? |
| 39713 | Doubtless we should first bend our efforts to assuage human suffering, but why? |
| 39713 | Even if they had entirely succeeded, would the Kantians be finally condemned to silence? |
| 39713 | Experiments have been made which should have disclosed the terms of the first order; the results have been negative; could that be by chance? |
| 39713 | For subtraction it is quite otherwise; it may be logically defined as the operation inverse to addition; but should we begin in that way? |
| 39713 | From this rapid exposition, what shall we conclude? |
| 39713 | Has chance thus defined, in so far as this is possible, objectivity? |
| 39713 | Has not M. de Cyon said that the Japanese mice, having only two pair of semicircular canals, believe that space is two- dimensional? |
| 39713 | Has one the right to give this extension to the meaning of the word_ logic_? |
| 39713 | Has one the right, therefore, to say he knows the distance between two points? |
| 39713 | Has probability been defined? |
| 39713 | Has science any place for such theories? |
| 39713 | Has the discarded hypothesis, then, been barren? |
| 39713 | Has this a meaning, and if so what? |
| 39713 | Has this word the same meaning for all the world? |
| 39713 | Have I the right to believe this? |
| 39713 | Have the peoples whose ideal most conformed to their highest interest exterminated the others and taken their place? |
| 39713 | Have these relations an objective value? |
| 39713 | Have we finally attained absolute rigor? |
| 39713 | Have we not just seen that it is by astronomy that, to speak his language, humanity has passed from the theological to the positive state? |
| 39713 | Have we the right to reason in this way? |
| 39713 | Have we the right, for instance, to enunciate Newton''s law? |
| 39713 | He has set himself questions like these: Are there more points in space than whole numbers? |
| 39713 | How am I led to regard these two series_ S_ and_ S''''_ as corresponding to the same displacement_ AB_? |
| 39713 | How are we led thereto? |
| 39713 | How are we led to conclude thence that they are identical? |
| 39713 | How can a law become a principle? |
| 39713 | How can intuition deceive us on this point? |
| 39713 | How can that be? |
| 39713 | How can we estimate the value of the new weapon thus won? |
| 39713 | How can we explain the very singular appearances presented by the spiral nebulæ, which are too regular and too constant to be due to chance? |
| 39713 | How can we explain this apparent contradiction? |
| 39713 | How can we know that two possible cases are equally probable? |
| 39713 | How could he be so short- sighted? |
| 39713 | How could he do it if we should leave between instruments and objects the deep chasm hollowed out by the logicians? |
| 39713 | How could that be, if time were not a form pre- existent in our minds? |
| 39713 | How could they have believed that motion stops when the cause which gave birth to it ceases? |
| 39713 | How could we know there were empty compartments, if these compartments were revealed to us only by their content? |
| 39713 | How define this group then without moving some solids? |
| 39713 | How do they accomplish it? |
| 39713 | How do we know whether two points of space are identical or different? |
| 39713 | How does Hilbert demonstrate this essential point? |
| 39713 | How does it happen that so many refuse to understand mathematics? |
| 39713 | How does it happen there are people who do not understand mathematics? |
| 39713 | How enunciate rules applicable to circumstances so complex? |
| 39713 | How is it possible? |
| 39713 | How is it then for the milky way? |
| 39713 | How long would it be necessary to wait? |
| 39713 | How many dimensions has this continuum? |
| 39713 | How many unexpected guests must be stowed away? |
| 39713 | How save ourselves from this_ petitio principii_? |
| 39713 | How shall we decide between these two hypotheses? |
| 39713 | How shall we define force? |
| 39713 | How shall we even reconcile it with the belief in the unity of nature? |
| 39713 | How should the equations of mathematical physics be treated? |
| 39713 | How should we picture a receptacle filled with gas? |
| 39713 | How so? |
| 39713 | How then am I led to distinguish them? |
| 39713 | How then choose the interesting fact, which is that which begins again? |
| 39713 | How then could we have been led to distinguish between the two? |
| 39713 | How then do they choose between the facts of nature? |
| 39713 | How then shall we recognize the equivalence of these two series? |
| 39713 | How was the order of the universe understood by the ancients; for instance, by Pythagoras, Plato or Aristotle? |
| 39713 | How was this triumph obtained? |
| 39713 | How, under these conditions, can we make out in this total mass the part of the real mass and that of the fictitious electromagnetic mass? |
| 39713 | How? |
| 39713 | However, because no painter has made a perfect portrait, should we conclude that the best painting is not to paint? |
| 39713 | I am asked: Did the eclipse happen at the hour predicted? |
| 39713 | I can understand that that means: Will such a mechanical effect happen? |
| 39713 | I have shown above by examples that the first two can not give us certainty; but who will seriously doubt the third, who will doubt arithmetic? |
| 39713 | I repeat my question: Do you think that in such a world we should be what we are? |
| 39713 | I should like to know who was to prevent him, and can it be said a thing does not exist, when we have called it[ Omega]?" |
| 39713 | I will explain myself; how did the ancients understand law? |
| 39713 | III I once said no to this question:[12] should our reply be modified by the recent works? |
| 39713 | II_ Comparison with Astronomic Observations_ Can the preceding theories be reconciled with astronomic observations? |
| 39713 | IV Why now have all these spaces three dimensions? |
| 39713 | If Larmor has failed, as it seems to me he has, does that mean that a mechanical explanation is impossible? |
| 39713 | If a modern physicist studies a new phenomenon, and if he discovers its law Tuesday, would he have said Monday that this phenomenon was fortuitous? |
| 39713 | If it was perceived that the concordance of the two effects, mechanical and chemical, is not constant? |
| 39713 | If it were ruled by caprice, what could prove to us it was not ruled by chance? |
| 39713 | If it were so, how should the Greeks have failed to recognize it? |
| 39713 | If not, why had this combination more right to exist than all the others? |
| 39713 | If science did not succeed, it could not serve as rule of action; whence would it get its value? |
| 39713 | If the coefficient of inertia is not constant, can the attracting mass be? |
| 39713 | If there is no absolute space, can one turn without turning in reference to something else? |
| 39713 | If there is no longer any mass, what becomes of Newton''s law? |
| 39713 | If therefore, during an eclipse, it is asked: Is it growing dark? |
| 39713 | If they deceived themselves, do we not likewise cheat ourselves? |
| 39713 | If this is only an illusion, why is this illusion so tenacious? |
| 39713 | If this science is deductive only in appearance, whence does it derive that perfect rigor no one dreams of doubting? |
| 39713 | If we construct a theory based on a number of hypotheses, and if experiment condemns it, which of our premises is it necessary to change? |
| 39713 | If you put the question to me: Is such a fact true? |
| 39713 | If, then, experiment confirms his conclusions, will he think that he has demonstrated, for instance, the real existence of atoms? |
| 39713 | In a word, is not the subliminal self superior to the conscious self? |
| 39713 | In fact, how will a gaseous mass let loose in the void act, if its elements attract one another according to Newton''s law? |
| 39713 | In fact, what is mathematical creation? |
| 39713 | In how far is it exact? |
| 39713 | In other words, do we mean that we must be sure not to meet contradictions, on condition of agreeing to stop just when we are about to encounter one? |
| 39713 | In other words, should we constrain the young people to change the nature of their minds? |
| 39713 | In presence of this general collapse of the principles, what attitude will mathematical physics take? |
| 39713 | In the applications we have to make of these three concepts, do they present themselves to us as defined by these three postulates? |
| 39713 | In the edifices built up by our masters, of what use to admire the work of the mason if we can not comprehend the plan of the architect? |
| 39713 | In the first place, what instrument have we at our disposal for this conquest? |
| 39713 | In the measurements of which we speak in the preceding section, what is it we determine in measuring the two deviations? |
| 39713 | In this multitude how shall we choose those which are worthy to fix our attention? |
| 39713 | In what measure does the mind get this satisfaction and why is it not content with it? |
| 39713 | Is Mr. Russell preparing to show that one at least of the two contradictory reasonings has transgressed the code? |
| 39713 | Is experience the source of geometry? |
| 39713 | Is is really deductive, as is commonly supposed? |
| 39713 | Is it a simple chance which confers this privilege? |
| 39713 | Is it by caprice? |
| 39713 | Is it certain it will never be contradicted by experiment? |
| 39713 | Is it certain our imaginary astronomers would do the same? |
| 39713 | Is it desired that this common part of the enunciations be expressible in words? |
| 39713 | Is it impossible that experiment may some day contradict our postulate? |
| 39713 | Is it impossible to conceive physical phenomena, the mechanical phenomena, for example, otherwise than in space of three dimensions? |
| 39713 | Is it likely that it is able to form all the possible combinations, whose number would frighten the imagination? |
| 39713 | Is it meant that we could not experimentally demonstrate Euclid''s postulate, but that our ancestors have been able to do it? |
| 39713 | Is it not as if one strove to measure length with a gram or weight with a meter? |
| 39713 | Is it not evident that from the principle so understood we could no longer infer anything? |
| 39713 | Is it possible to fulfill so many opposing conditions? |
| 39713 | Is it possible to reconcile it with the principle of the conservation of energy? |
| 39713 | Is it the radius of the disc? |
| 39713 | Is it the same with two physical facts? |
| 39713 | Is it the thickness? |
| 39713 | Is it this which Russell calls the''zigzaginess''? |
| 39713 | Is it thought that ordinary language by aid of which are expressed the facts of daily life is exempt from ambiguity? |
| 39713 | Is it true they afford means of proving the principle of complete induction without any appeal to intuition? |
| 39713 | Is it well to let them know this is only approximative? |
| 39713 | Is its orientation about to be modified? |
| 39713 | Is mathematical analysis, then, whose principal object is the study of these empty frames, only a vain play of the mind? |
| 39713 | Is nature governed by caprice, or does harmony rule there? |
| 39713 | Is not chance the antithesis of all law?" |
| 39713 | Is not human intelligence, more specifically the intelligence of the scientist, susceptible of infinite variation? |
| 39713 | Is not my present nearer my past of yesterday than the present of Sirius? |
| 39713 | Is not the very spectrum of the spark, in which we recognize the lines of the metal of the electrode, a proof of it? |
| 39713 | Is not this the means of escaping the ridicule that we foresee? |
| 39713 | Is space revealed to us by our senses? |
| 39713 | Is that not something of a paradox? |
| 39713 | Is the abyss which separates them less profound than it at first appeared? |
| 39713 | Is the milky way thus constituted truly the image of a gas properly so called? |
| 39713 | Is the principle of inertia, which is not an_ a priori_ truth, therefore an experimental fact? |
| 39713 | Is there a law of errors? |
| 39713 | Is there in nature some familiar object which is so to speak the rough and vague image of it? |
| 39713 | Is there something to change in all that when we pass to the following stages? |
| 39713 | Is this a simple illusion of ours, or are there cases where this way of thinking is legitimate? |
| 39713 | Is this a third way of conceiving chance? |
| 39713 | Is this a truth imposed_ a priori_ upon the mind? |
| 39713 | Is this a useless luxury? |
| 39713 | Is this a verifiable fact? |
| 39713 | Is this affirmative answer forced upon us by the facts I have just given? |
| 39713 | Is this apparent contiguity a mere effect of chance? |
| 39713 | Is this because it is too remote from all other bodies to experience any appreciable action from them? |
| 39713 | Is this enough? |
| 39713 | Is this evolution ended? |
| 39713 | Is this hypothesis rigorously exact? |
| 39713 | Is this not enough to show they are capable of making ascensions otherwise than in a captive balloon? |
| 39713 | Is this not for us mathematicians in a way a professional procedure? |
| 39713 | Is this possible in particular when it is a question of giving a definition? |
| 39713 | Is this the case here? |
| 39713 | Is this then a question of method? |
| 39713 | Is this to say that the principle has no meaning and vanishes in a tautology? |
| 39713 | Is this way of looking at it legitimate? |
| 39713 | It is doubtless something intermediate; but what can we say then of the thickness itself, or of the radius of the disc? |
| 39713 | It is evident from the first that systematic errors can not satisfy Gauss''s law; but do the accidental errors satisfy it? |
| 39713 | It is useless to seek to change anything of that, and besides would it be desirable? |
| 39713 | It may be asked, for instance, what is the present distribution of the minor planets? |
| 39713 | May we not fear lest some day a new experiment should come to falsify the law in some domain of physics? |
| 39713 | Might it not happen that it can accord with experience only by violating the principle of sufficient reason or that of the relativity of space? |
| 39713 | Might not new experiments some day lead us to modify or even to abandon them? |
| 39713 | Might there not be an abrupt fall of potential in the neighborhood of one of the armatures, of the negative armature, for example? |
| 39713 | Moreover, do we not often invoke what Bertrand calls the laws of chance, to predict a phenomenon? |
| 39713 | Must geometry be regarded both as a branch of kinematics and as a branch of optics? |
| 39713 | Must not this existence be established, in order that the existence of the class of which it is a part may be deduced? |
| 39713 | Must we believe that the evolution of the milky way began when the matter was still dark? |
| 39713 | Must we combat them? |
| 39713 | Must we continue to use the method of least squares? |
| 39713 | Must we lament this? |
| 39713 | Must we show those content with the pure logic that they have seen only one side of the matter? |
| 39713 | Must we therefore translate as follows? |
| 39713 | Must we use them? |
| 39713 | Must we, therefore, abandon science and study only morals? |
| 39713 | Need I also recall that M. Hermite obtained a surprising advantage from the introduction of continuous variables into the theory of numbers? |
| 39713 | Need I point out that the fall of Lavoisier''s principle involves that of Newton''s? |
| 39713 | Need I recall that thus have been made all the important discoveries? |
| 39713 | Need we add that mathematicians themselves are not infallible? |
| 39713 | No one doubts it; but whence comes this confidence? |
| 39713 | Nor may you ask: Does the infallibility of arithmetic prevent errors in addition? |
| 39713 | Now can we affirm that the hypotheses I have just made are absurd? |
| 39713 | Now how do we know that this continuum of displacements has six dimensions? |
| 39713 | Now on what condition is the use of hypothesis without danger? |
| 39713 | Now what do we see? |
| 39713 | Now what is science? |
| 39713 | Now what is this creed? |
| 39713 | Now when we say that the Euclidean motions are the_ true_ motions without deformation, what do we mean? |
| 39713 | Now why is the first method of enumerating the possible cases more legitimate than the second? |
| 39713 | Now, what do we see? |
| 39713 | Of these two inverse tendencies, which seem to triumph turn about, which will win? |
| 39713 | On the other hand, if the principles of mechanics are only of experimental origin, are they not therefore only approximate and provisional? |
| 39713 | On the other hand, what happens with regard to the straight line? |
| 39713 | On what then could be based experiments which should serve as foundation for geometry? |
| 39713 | One could at most have said to us:''Your fillips are doubtless legitimate, but you abuse them; why move the exterior objects so often?'' |
| 39713 | Only a privileged few are called to enjoy it fully, it is true, but is not this the case for all the noblest arts? |
| 39713 | Only, is the compensation perfect? |
| 39713 | Or again that every body if nothing prevents, will move in a circle, the noblest of motions? |
| 39713 | Or can we, despite all, approach truth on some side? |
| 39713 | Or further, what criterion will enable me to apprehend this? |
| 39713 | Or is there here a play of evolution and natural selection? |
| 39713 | Or is this action by so much the less as the medium is less refractive and more rarefied, becoming null in the void? |
| 39713 | Or need we say to those not so cheaply satisfied that what they demand is not necessary? |
| 39713 | Or rather what is the probable value of the sine of the longitude at the instant_ t_, that is to say of sin(_ at_+_ b_)? |
| 39713 | Or, perhaps, does the apparent correspond to a real contiguity? |
| 39713 | Our body is formed of cells, and the cells of atoms; are these cells and these atoms then all the reality of the human body? |
| 39713 | PART III THE OBJECTIVE VALUE OF SCIENCE CHAPTER X IS SCIENCE ARTIFICIAL? |
| 39713 | Pardon, can you not imagine that the door opens, or that two of these walls separate? |
| 39713 | Probability opposed to certainty is what we do not know, and how can we calculate what we do not know? |
| 39713 | Scarcely fifteen years ago was there anything more ridiculous, more naïvely antiquated, than Coulomb''s fluids? |
| 39713 | Shall I recall to you how it was in its turn thrown into discredit? |
| 39713 | Shall we believe that with one single equation we have determined several unknowns? |
| 39713 | Shall we ever arrive at that? |
| 39713 | Shall we know then what is a point thus defined by its relative position with regard to ourselves? |
| 39713 | Shall we let ourselves be guided solely by our caprice? |
| 39713 | Shall we say that if we introduce others, of which we are fully conscious, we shall only aggravate the evil? |
| 39713 | Shall we say that the first has been useless? |
| 39713 | Shall we then admit that the enunciations of all those theorems which fill so many volumes are nothing but devious ways of saying_ A_ is_ A_? |
| 39713 | Shall we think God, contemplating his work, feels the same sensations as we in watching a billiard match? |
| 39713 | Should each therefore decide according to his temperament, the conservatives going to one side and the lovers of the new to the other? |
| 39713 | Should we abandon one of the two hypotheses, and which? |
| 39713 | Should we here understand by finite number every number to which by definition the principle of induction applies? |
| 39713 | Should we not always have been able to justify these fillips by the same reasons? |
| 39713 | Should we retain the classic definition of parallels and say parallels are two coplanar straights which do not meet, however far they be prolonged? |
| 39713 | Should we simply deduce all the consequences and regard them as intangible realities? |
| 39713 | Should we therefore conclude that the axioms of geometry are experimental verities? |
| 39713 | Should your rules be followed blindly? |
| 39713 | Since several geometries are possible, is it certain ours is the true one? |
| 39713 | So much for the rotation of the earth upon itself; what shall we say of its revolution around the sun? |
| 39713 | So that to ask what geometry it is proper to adopt is to ask, to what line is it proper to give the name straight? |
| 39713 | So we shall put the question otherwise; can geodesy aid us the better to know nature? |
| 39713 | So what must we conclude? |
| 39713 | Suppose we find the ray of light does not satisfy Euclid''s postulate( for example by showing that a star has a negative parallax), what shall we do? |
| 39713 | THE IMPLICIT AXIOMS.--Are the axioms explicitly enunciated in our treatises the sole foundations of geometry? |
| 39713 | That granted, what do we do? |
| 39713 | That is an experimental truth, but it can not be invalidated by experience; in fact, what would a more precise experiment teach us? |
| 39713 | That means: Are these relations the same for all? |
| 39713 | That supposes the field uniform; is this certain? |
| 39713 | That would be easy, I have said, but that would be rather long; and would it not be a little superficial? |
| 39713 | The English are right, that goes without saying; but how could the other method have been persisted in so long? |
| 39713 | The engineer should receive a complete mathematical education, but for what should it serve him? |
| 39713 | The example ordinarily cited is that of a ball rolling a very long time on a marble table; but why do we say it is subjected to no force? |
| 39713 | The experimenter puts to nature a question: Is it this or that? |
| 39713 | The nominalist attitude is justified only when it is convenient; when is it so? |
| 39713 | The principle is intact, but thenceforth of what use is it? |
| 39713 | The rule of tric- trac is indeed a rule of action like science, but does any one think the comparison just and not see the difference? |
| 39713 | The rules of perfect logic, are they the whole of mathematics? |
| 39713 | The way these cells are arranged, whence results the unity of the individual, is it not also a reality and much more interesting? |
| 39713 | Then does the scientist create science? |
| 39713 | Then what are we to think of that question: Is the Euclidean geometry true? |
| 39713 | Then what happens? |
| 39713 | There is connection between the warning_ A1_ and the parry_ B1_, this is an internal property of our intelligence; but why this connection? |
| 39713 | There is no difficulty as to_ U_, but can_ T_ be regarded as the_ vis viva_ of a material system? |
| 39713 | There is the event, what is the cause? |
| 39713 | There steeples were not lacking: but to install oneself in them with mysterious and perhaps diabolic instruments, was it not sacrilege? |
| 39713 | Therefore two difficulties:( 1) Can we transform psychologic time, which is qualitative, into a quantitative time? |
| 39713 | Therefore, when we ask what is the objective value of science, that does not mean: Does science teach us the true nature of things? |
| 39713 | These principles on which we have built all, are they about to crumble away in their turn? |
| 39713 | This it is that we are about to consider, and we shall put the question in these terms: When we say that space has three dimensions, what do we mean? |
| 39713 | Thus all seems arranged, but are all the doubts dissipated? |
| 39713 | Thus would not the horse harnessed to his treadmill refuse to go, were his eyes not bandaged? |
| 39713 | To minds so unlike can the mathematical theorems themselves appear in the same light? |
| 39713 | To what need does it respond? |
| 39713 | To- day, what do we see? |
| 39713 | Truth which is not the same for all, is it truth? |
| 39713 | Two psychological phenomena happen in two different consciousnesses; when I say they are simultaneous, what do I mean? |
| 39713 | Under these conditions, how imagine a sieve capable of applying them mechanically? |
| 39713 | Upon what condition will this latter definition, which plays an essential rôle in Whitehead''s proof, be''predicative''and consequently acceptable? |

| 39713 | Was it merely because I do not speak the Peanian with enough eloquence? |
| 39713 | Was that to reject it? |
| 39713 | Was the Academy wrong? |
| 39713 | We say now_ post hoc, ergo propter hoc_; now_ propter hoc, ergo post hoc_; shall we escape from this vicious circle? |
| 39713 | Well, is it not a great advance to have distinguished what long was wrongly confused? |

| 39713 | Wherein do these permanently electrified molecules differ from Coulomb''s electric molecules? |
| 39713 | Wherein does this syllable form an integrant part of this intuitive idea? |
| 39713 | Which group shall we choose, to make of it a sort of standard with which to compare natural phenomena? |
| 39713 | Which shall we prefer to regard as the derivatives of these parameters? |
| 39713 | Which then are the facts likely to reappear? |

| 39713 | Who shall tell us which to choose? |
| 39713 | Who will regret it; who will think that this time and this strength have been wasted? |
| 39713 | Who would dare affirm that? |
| 39713 | Who would venture to say whether he preferred that Weierstrass had never written or that there had never been a Riemann? |
| 39713 | Who, now, is to decide whether a definition may be regarded as simple enough to be acceptable? |
| 39713 | Why are the English scientist''s ideas with such difficulty acclimatized among us? |
| 39713 | Why are the decimals of a table of logarithms, why are those of the number[ pi] distributed in accordance with the laws of chance? |
| 39713 | Why are the lines of the spectrum distributed in accordance with a regular law? |
| 39713 | Why be a''neo- vitalist,''or an''evolutionist,''or an''atomist,''or an''Energetiker''? |
| 39713 | Why be astonished then at the resistance we oppose to every attempt made to dissociate what so long has been associated? |
| 39713 | Why change them if they were infallible? |
| 39713 | Why did this stranger climb the mountains to make signals? |
| 39713 | Why do children usually understand nothing of the definitions which satisfy scientists? |
| 39713 | Why do the drops of rain in a shower seem to be distributed at random? |
| 39713 | Why do the rays distribute themselves regularly? |
| 39713 | Why do these rays distribute themselves regularly? |
| 39713 | Why do we assert this? |
| 39713 | Why do we avoid points making angles and too abrupt turns? |
| 39713 | Why do we not make our curve describe the most capricious zig- zags? |
| 39713 | Why do we put such a value on the invention of a new transformation? |
| 39713 | Why do we reject this interpretation? |
| 39713 | Why does this principle occupy thus a sort of privileged place among all the physical laws? |
| 39713 | Why has it been said that every attempt to give a fourth dimension to space always carries this one back to one of the other three? |
| 39713 | Why has space properly so called as many dimensions as tactile space and more than simple visual space? |
| 39713 | Why have the continental savants who have sought to get out of the ruts of their predecessors been usually unable to free themselves completely? |
| 39713 | Why have the meteorologists such difficulty in predicting the weather with any certainty? |
| 39713 | Why is it necessary to give them others? |
| 39713 | Why is this detour advantageous? |
| 39713 | Why not limit our philosophy of science strictly to such a counsel of resignation? |
| 39713 | Why not''take the cash and let the credit go''? |
| 39713 | Why reason on a polygon, for instance, which is always decomposable into triangles, and not on the elementary triangles? |
| 39713 | Why should I have the right to apply the name of straight to the first of these ideas and not to the second? |
| 39713 | Why then am I led to decide that these two sensations, qualitatively different, represent the same image, which has been displaced? |
| 39713 | Why then do we think this initial distribution improbable? |
| 39713 | Why then does it not fail me in a difficult piece of mathematical reasoning where most chess- players would lose themselves? |
| 39713 | Why then does this judgment force itself upon us with an irresistible evidence? |
| 39713 | Why then is it that I seek to trace a curve without sinuosities? |
| 39713 | Why then take this détour? |
| 39713 | Why, then, does science actually need general theories, despite the fact that these theories inevitably alter and pass away? |
| 39713 | Why? |
| 39713 | Why? |
| 39713 | Why? |
| 39713 | Why? |
| 39713 | Why? |
| 39713 | Why? |
| 39713 | Why? |
| 39713 | Why? |
| 39713 | Why? |
| 39713 | Why? |
| 39713 | Why? |
| 39713 | Will it be by a convention? |
| 39713 | Will it be necessary to seek to mend the broken principles by giving what we French call a_ coup de pouce_? |
| 39713 | Will it be said that good sense suffices to show us what convention should be adopted? |
| 39713 | Will it thus shrink in convergence toward zero, or will there remain an irreducible residue which will then be the universal invariant sought? |
| 39713 | Will nature be sufficiently flexible for that? |
| 39713 | Will our experiments, interpreted in this new manner, still be in accord with our''law of relativity''? |
| 39713 | Will the difficulty be solved if we agree to refer everything to these axes bound to our body? |
| 39713 | Will the number of shoes be equal to the number of pairs? |
| 39713 | Will the two principles of Mayer and of Clausius assure to it foundations solid enough for it to last some time? |
| 39713 | Will they still be the same for those who shall come after us? |
| 39713 | Will things go better if we admit the new dynamics? |
| 39713 | Will you say that if the experiments bear on the bodies, they bear at least upon the geometric properties of the bodies? |
| 39713 | With what eyes, if not with his intellect? |
| 39713 | Without doubt, numerous observations are in accord with it; but is not this a simple effect of chance? |
| 39713 | Would all geometry thus have become impossible? |
| 39713 | Would not the same reasoning be applicable in his case? |
| 39713 | Would not this animal be the true philosopher? |
| 39713 | Would the metamorphosis have been possible, or at least would it not have been much slower? |
| 39713 | Would the probability of the cause being comprised between two limits_ n_ kilometers apart still be proportional to_ n_? |
| 39713 | Would this contrary result have been absurd in itself? |
| 39713 | Would this planet act the same if it went a thousand times faster? |
| 39713 | XI Another difficulty; have we really the right to speak of the cause of a phenomenon? |
| 39713 | Yet is it an instrument not to be done without, if not for action, at least for philosophizing? |
| 39713 | Yet is that certitude absolute? |
| 39713 | Yet would the mind of these astronomers be completely satisfied? |
| 39713 | You ask then of what use is the hypothesis of Lorentz and of Fitzgerald if no experiment can permit of its verification? |
| 39713 | _ Conventions Preceding Experiment._--Suppose, now, that all these efforts fail, and, after all, I do not believe they will, what must be done? |
| 39713 | _ Identity of Two Points_ What is a point? |
| 39713 | _ Objectivity of Science_ I arrive at the question set by the title of this article: What is the objective value of science? |
| 39713 | _ Shall we thence conclude that the facts of daily life are the work of the grammarians?_ You ask me: Is there a current? |
| 39713 | _ Shall we thence conclude that the facts of daily life are the work of the grammarians?_ You ask me: Is there a current? |
| 39713 | _ The Objective Value of Science_ CHAPTER X.--Is Science Artificial? |
| 39713 | _ The Philosophy of M. LeRoy_ There are many reasons for being sceptics; should we push this scepticism to the very end or stop on the way? |
| 39713 | _ The Rôle of the Analyst._--And as to these doubts, is it indeed true that we can do nothing to disembarrass science of them? |
| 39713 | _ They have not changed nature; they have only changed place._ III Could these principles be considered as disguised definitions? |
| 39713 | _ This convention being given_, if I am asked: Is such a fact true? |
| 39713 | _ What Outcome?_--What now is the definite, the permanent outcome? |
| 39713 | and, if so, how was it known that these bodies were subjected to no force? |
| 39713 | and, on the other hand, how could we admit Newton''s conclusion and believe in absolute space? |
| 39713 | but it means: Does it teach us the true relations of things? |
