Now here [exhibiting a 5 I | which gravitates toward the earth as much as the whole of 6 I | full] to fall toward the earth, compared with the little 7 I | power of falling to the earth. Again, here is another 8 I | the falling body and the earth. Let us be slow and careful 9 I | this. It is not that the earth has any particular attraction 10 I | other. It is not that the earth has any special power which 11 I | just as much power as the earth has to attract these two 12 I | they fall so quickly to the earth is owing to its greater 13 I | bodies are attracted to the earth, or, to use a more learned 14 I | that it falls toward the earth, and, if not intercepted, 15 I | centre of gravity of the earth, which I will explain to 16 I | and all fall toward the earth, and what I want you to 17 I | liquids tend to fall to the earth; and, therefore, you will 18 I | things, attracted to the earth.~There is another point 19 I | get to the centre of the earth; that is to say, the whole 20 I | attracting power of the earth is, as it were, centred 21 I | and raising it from the earth. All this is effected by 22 I | heavy or light, fall to the earth by this force which we call 23 I | they reach the table or earth at different times; that 24 I | fall equally fast to the earth. There are one or two beautiful 25 I | perceive they both fall to the earth in the same time. Now if 26 I | together falling toward the earth, fall with the same velocity, 27 I | should they not fall to the earth with the same quickness? 28 II| it became as large as the Earth itself - or I might take 29 II| itself - or I might take the Earth itself as the large ball - 30 II| balanced with respect to the earth; and I need not tell you 31 II| gravitation to the centre of the earth.~I must not, however, leave 32 II| gravitate - they all fall to the earth - for the force of gravitation 33 II| up the structures on the earth are of strength - we use 34 V | ages in the bowels of the earth.
