Where There Is Matter, There Is Geometry.

Nothing Which Consists Of Corporeal Matter Is Absolutely Light, But That Is Comparatively Lighter Which Is Rarer, Either By Its Own Nature, Or By Accidental Heat. And It Is Not To Be Thought That Light Bodies Are Escaping To The Surface Of The Universe While They Are Carried Upwards, Or That They Are Not Attracted By The Earth. They Are Attracted, But In A Less Degree, And So Are Driven Outwards By The Heavy Bodies; Which Being Done, They Stop, And Are Kept By The Earth In Their Own Place.

The Chief Aim Of All Investigations Of The External World Should Be To Discover The Rational Order And Harmony Which Has Been Imposed On It By God And Which He Revealed To Us In The Language Of Mathematics.

If The Earth Should Cease To Attract Its Waters To Itself All The Waters Of The Sea Would Be Raised And Would Flow To The Body Of The Moon.
