CONSTITUENTS OF THE UNIVERSE, 



Now, wherever in point of minuteness the atoms 

 would stop, motion would not necessarily stop 

 at any such a point, and that fact, taken in con- 

 nection with some of the phenomena pertain- 

 ing to life, plainly indicates that such pheno- 

 mena are due, not to clumsy, inert matter, but 



tO REAL LIVE MOTION. 



The very fact that atoms would have to be 

 indivisible, would not be at all in keeping with 

 either of the three great essentials; for they are 

 all infinitely divisible. Here, then, is a radical 

 departure from the characteristics of the known 

 constituents of the universe, and that, too, sug- 

 gests that there are no atoms; therefore no 

 matter. 



In point of fact, if there are any phenomena 

 that the theory of atoms and matter will ac- 

 count for, they are not apparent; while Space, 

 Time and Motion must and will account for all. 



The science of chemistry is all right prac- 

 tically, and all wrong theoretically. In assum- 

 ing that there is matter as the present theory 

 does, consisting of compounds and elements
