MECHANISM OF NATURE 



there is a checking of the normal velocity by the 

 obstruction offered by the body, there is at the 

 same time, in close proximity, also an increase of 

 velocity over the normal. 



And this abnormality produces the necessary 

 inequality between bodies suspended in the alter- 

 nate Current. Let Fig. B illustrate the working 

 of an alternate Current in plane layers obstructed 

 by the bodies a and &. Let the arrows indicate the 

 direction of the alternate current. Then it is plain 

 that there will be created a real tendency for the 

 body a and 6 to come together; not an occult at- 

 traction, but a mechanical necessity. 



And however many bodies may be concerned in 

 obstructing a universal alternate Current, they 

 must each and every one produce this tendency. 

 And while an infinite stream of Primary Spheres 

 cannot be conceived, or brought into any normality 

 of time and distance, still in its operation between 

 material identities in the Universe it must be nor- 

 mal to any solar system, and in fact to the vicinity 

 of any separate body. 



The increase of the intensity of gravity after 

 the inverse square, by reduction of distance, is not 

 at all contrary to the foregoing theory of gravity. 

 For the displacement is not directly between the 

 two or more bodies concerned, but rather it is a 

 secondary effect of the greater displacement of a 

 normal universal displacement. 



And so an ever-present normal current can pro- 

 duce various motions by displacement that are per-
