duce that cohesion is absurd, in view of the 

 fact that the cohesion is neutralized entirely 

 by separating them in so slight a degree; 

 especially when these identical atoms are 

 alleged to attract all others, regardless of 

 distance. 



Cohesion is due to motion only. Not a 

 straight motion, for that produces exactly the 

 opposite result; nor by a circular one, as co- 

 hesion cannot occur in that way; the spiral 

 movement is the real explanation.
