Riassunto

Excerpt from The Animal: As a Machine and a Prime Motor, and the Laws of Energetics

We see that in the beginning there entered upon an existence of indefinite duration a great universe of matter endowed with its characterizing attributes - the forces. These forces, acting upon a definite quantity of matter with definite intensity, give origin to a fixed amount of actual energy, and become capa ble of producing another fixed quantity of what is now potential energy. Energy thus brought into exist ence remains constant in total amount as the quantity of created matter remains constant.

The action of these forces upon this matter has given rise to every phenomenon which has come, or which can come, within the range of scientific inquiry.
