The Metaphysical Magazine 1895 Vol 1 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Metaphysical Magazine, 1895, Vol. 1 I am inclined to think that levitation is a universal force of nature like gravitation and that one reason why the latter is accepted as a fact, while the former is rejected as a fallacy, is that the law of gravitational action has been successfully formu lated, while the law of levitational action has hitherto eluded us. It is a demonstrated fact that the energy of gravitation is directly proportionate to the respective masses of gravitating bodies, and inversely as the square Of their distance apart. Since action and reaction are always equal in Opposite dirce tions, it should be demonstrable that levitation is a force which counteracts gravitation with mathematical precision, each be ing thus the exact measure Of the energy Of the other. Grav ity would be no real force if it overcame no resistance; that resistance which it does overcome, or tends to overcome, is the measure of the force of levitation.
