In Science There Is Only Physics; All

It Is Conceivable That Animal Life Might Have The Attribute Of Using The Heat Of Surrounding Matter, At Its Natural Temperature, As A Source Of Energy For Mechanical Effect . . . .the Influence Of Animal Or Vegetable Life On Matter Is Infinitely Beyond The Range Of Any Scientific Enquiry Hitherto Entered On. Its Power Of Directing The Motions Of Moving Particles, In The Demonstrated Daily Miracle Of Our Human Free-will, And In The Growth Of Generation After Generation Of Plants From A Single Seed, Are Infinitely Different From Any Possible Result Of The Fortuitous Concurrence Of Atoms.

Mathematics Is The Only True Metaphysics.

Symmetrical Equations Are Good In Their Place, But ' Vector ' Is A Useless Survival, Or Offshoot From Quaternions, And Has Never Been Of The Slightest Use To Any Creature.

Fourier's Theorem Is Not Only One Of The Most Beautiful Results Of Modern Analysis, But It May Be Said To Furnish An Indispensable Instrument In The Treatment Of Nearly Every Recondite Question In Modern Physics.
