CONSTITUENTS OF THE UNIVERSE. 



Attraction implies that a thing can operate 

 where it is not, which is another impossibility. 



While one thing cannot and does not at- 

 tract another, it can, and may move towards 

 another, simply, and consistently, by virtue of 

 its own self motion; and that is precisely what 

 has been mistaken for attraction of gravita- 

 tion. There is no mystery or inconsistency 

 involved in that, for it is the simple truth, 

 which is never inconsistent. 



Attraction is a mere assumption, but a huge 

 mistake. It assumes that a single atom of 

 matter attracts, and is in turn attracted by 

 every atom of matter in the universe. If that 

 were true, there could not be but one mass or 

 body in the whole universe. 



The same objections that have been made to 

 attraction of gravitation apply to every mode 

 of supposed attraction. The other modes are 

 further considered in connection with items 

 that legitimately belong to this subject.
