Abstract
Contrast in Character of Motion and Temperature Laws IT would, however, be premature to conclude that because the laws of temperature in this one respect follow more closely the outlines of bare experience, they are therefore necessarily purer or more worthy of preservation than the laws of motion. We must look more closely into the matter, for it may be that, when the necessary supplementary clauses, so to speak, have been added, the type of law which has been constructed to describe motions is, by its greater scope, more adaptable to further experiences than the type constructed to describe temperature changes.
