Attraction Of Gravitation.

Facts incOntrOyertible prove natural
science false from its foundation; rather
a sweeping denunciation in the face OF a
Calico, Herschell, Newton, Kant and
LapIace. During my curriculum natu-
raj incredulity caused me to scrutinize
all theories in the various branches of
Science; whose emptiness in astronomy,
lead me to that first great cause least I'M
derstOOd. One OF the fundamental facts
we shall here set forth which will in no
wise disturb the Planets in their respec-
tive orbits. but illustrate the fate that
befeIl the builders of the Tower OF Babel.
That such power as that of Attraction
Of Gravitation extending to the utmost
vistas of space we deny. That law of
nature eternal, and Immutable fixes that
all powers known to terrestrial space
and on suppostiOn in cosmical space,
are limited and neutralized by time.
distance, friction and weight, solves
the problem; the discharge Of cannon
illustrates power in relation to that law,
as also the difference between the
energies Of light, and sound. Newton
threw a stone in the air it fell back to
the earth from whence il was propelled;
as the world is round, he inferred the
stone should have gone on through inf
mite space, he also inferred an attraction
called Terrestrial emanated from the cir
conference Of the globe which drew me-
deoric stones from the nebuIe, kept the
moon out OF danger, the same colossal
power emanating from, and cOunterac-
ting the heavenly bodies, so as all to re-
tain their relative positions; HOnOrs and
jewels were poured on the great astrOno-
mer, and mistake. The difference be-
tween the specific gravity or weight Of
the stone and the air explains the Phe-
nomenOn attraction had nothing to do
with it. the earth from where the stone
was thrown was not round and the size
