stability are equal to each other, and it
does not matter how the kinetic energy be
produced, whether by translation Or rota-
tlon. The resultant kinetic energy will
always have its equal resultant kinetic
stability.
Let us take, then, the case of particle
which has translation only, and that
straight line of motion must be supposed
20 take place in vacuum where there
is no gravity. That is what we call free
space.
1t is an unusual condition, but to the
mathematician it is the most simple of all
conditions to imagine.
Let m=Mass Of particle,
Let velocity.
Then mU'=E=Energy or Wis viva.
Then M9y-=Ek=Kinetic energy.
Then @@sg-=E.=Kinetic stability.
Then nya=Ek +Es%E=Nominal energy.
Let Ep-Potential energy.
Now we find that the potential energy
and the kinetic stability vary inversely
between certain limits according to GER
tain law, so that when the kinetic stability
is a maximum and equal to ~ then the
potential energy is equal to 0.
BY the laws of the conservation of en-
ergy we know that the particle cannot lose
its energy in any way without dong work,
nor can it increase its energy without hav-
ing work done on it. Let us suppose that
the kinetic energy of another particle,
equal to Elk, be superimposed on the first
moving particle, in line at right angles,
or transverse to its motion; then the par
tlcle would have twice the energy.
NOW, If the particle had twice the en-
ergy (such as would be the case in the eX-
pertinent described in pages 55 and Sc of
my pamphlet), then what reasons have we
to expect that the resultant motion would
be curvilinear or elastic? The answer is:
because a curvilinear resultant solves the
problem of elastic motion.
At present mathematical science denies
that the resultant of the two transverse
energies would be curvilinear.
The proof, or the accepted proof, that the
resultant velocity would be represented in
direction and magnitude by the diagonal
of the parallelogram, OF which the ada
cent sides represent the composite ener-
gies, is we'll known and can be found in
any textbook on dynamics. But this is
just the point where the illusion comes in,
and it shows how easy it is for the wisest
men to be mistaken and how the greatest
scientist may err.
The accepted proof looks very simple
and clear. The superposition of an equal
additional energy in any direcl IN because
energy is irrespective Of direction), gives
as the square of the velocity, the resultant
velocity would be equal TO Wv.
And it just happens that in the case in
question the diagonal is just equal to
square root two=>/2. Consequently no
one thought it could be otherwise, and /
never dreamed of it until l found by ex-
pertinent that the resultant was curvilinear,
and then the whole truth flashed apon
me. Now the fact is that the resultant
kinetic energy is not lex, but >/2Ek; and
u2Ek=Ep=Potentia energy.
If you will expand the velocities due to
these energies and note that the velocity
due to the potential acts at right angles
10 the velocity due to the kinetic energy,
and that the difference between the
forces producing the kinetic stability and
the potential energy is the measure of the
force of restitution, and that in small dis
turbances that varies as the distance from a
fixed plane, then by using suitable co-ordi-
mates you can get the equation of the
curve of sines.
And by considering how the combined
translation and rotation of the solar sys-
tenn superlmposes these elastic curves
under varying phases, you can then by
your calculus solve the whole problem of
gravitation.
Now you know how kinetic stability en-
ables kinetic energy to produce worlds and
systems of worlds, and how the motion of
atoms round center produces molecule;
because the solar system is, so to speak, a
molecule magnified few billion of billions
of times and may be said to be only one of
the infinite number of cerebral cells in the
brain of the Infinite One, who by his in
telligence and his will has evolved them
all by the spirit of his power, from his
own consciousness, as phenomena which
he has given his creatures senses to per-
ceive.
1t is unnecessary for me to dwell longer
on the Smithsonian conditions, because
can easily see that kinetic stability fills the
whole bill and does away with the attrac-
ton of matter entirely.
You will also perceive by the use of
the proper data how magnetic and
electric Induction is Produced how heat
and light, and life itself, can be produced
and transformed from the one into
But there is one thing you will never learn
how or be able to produce, viz: an in
fnitesimal portion of energy more than
at present exists in the universe.
In conclusion, beg to thank the editor
of The CALL for allowing me the privi-
lege OF enllstlng the assistance OF
the press to bring sufficient pressure
on the State University, so as if possible
induce them to take this discovery up,
verify it by experiment and publish the
results to the world.
l have been constrained in these papers
to restrict myself to the mechanical action
of kinetic stability, but if the readers of
THE CALL will assist me to get the unlver
sity authorities to verify the experiments
in vacuum, have sketched out in my
pamphlet; l will, with the permission of
the editor, at some future time, continue
the subject into the regions of organic
and spiritual science.
