...football, then if we could magnify the whole drop up to the size of the earth, the structure, he tells us, would be more coarsegrained than a heap of small shot, but probably less coarse-grained than a heap of footballs.6 Now I propose later to return to the atomic hypothesis. At present I will only ask the... | |
