Novum organon renovatum: Being the second part of the philosophy of the inductive sciences
Whewell, William
Science -- Philosophy
K = * _By the nature of motion_, the apparent motion is the same if
the Planets revolve about the Sun: this is _simpler_.
L = * _By the nature of motion_, the apparent motion of the Sun is
the same if the Earth revolve round the Sun: this is _simpler_.
M = * Copernicus. The Earth and Planets revolve about the Sun as a
center in Orbits nearly circular. The Earth revolves about its axis
inclined to the Ecliptic in a constant position, and the Moon
revolves about the Earth. The _Heliocentric Theory_ governs
subsequent speculations.
N = Retaining Moon's Eccentric and Epicycle; By additional
observations, the Moon's motion has other inequalities.
O = Retaining but referring to the Sun as center the Planets'
Epicycles and Eccentrics and the annual Orbit;
P = Retaining obs^ns. Earth's Aphelion revolves.
Q = Tycho. Moon's _Variation_; _Unequal Motion of Node_; _Change of
Inclination_.
R = By calc^ns. of the periodic times and distances.
S = By additional observations and calculations.
T = Planets' Aphelia revolve. Jupiter and Saturn's motions have an
inequality dep^g. on their mutual positions.
U = THE WEIGHT of bodies dimin^s in going towards the Equator.
V = THE SATELLITES of Jupiter and Saturn revolve according to
Kepler's Laws.
W = Horrox. Halley. The Moon moves in an _Ellipse_ with variable
_axis_ and _eccentricity_.
X = Kepler. Distances cubed are as times squared.
Y = Kepler. Areas as described by Planets are as times.
Z = Kepler. Curves described by Planets are as ellipses.
a1 = Newton. Earth is oblate.
b1 = * By Mechanics.
c1 = * Newton. Moon is attracted by the Earth. Fall of heavy bodies.
d1 = * Newton. Moon's inequalities produced by attraction of Sun.
e1 = * Newton. Wren. Hooke. Sun's force on different Planets is
invers. as square of distance.
f1 = * Newton. Planets are attracted by the Sun.
g1 = * Newton. Sun attracts Planets invers. as square of distance.
h1 = * Newton. These inequalities are produced by mutual attraction
of the Planets.
i1 = Precession of Equinoxes is produced by attraction of Moon and
Sun on oblate Earth.
j1 = Tides are produced by attraction of Moon and Sun on
Sea. Explanation imperfect.
k1 = Diminution of gravity and oblateness of Earth arise from
attractions of parts.
l1 = * Newton. Jupiter and Saturn attract their Satellites inversely
as the square of the distance, and the Sun attracts Planets and
Satellites alike.
m1 = Newton. Earth attracts Moon invers. as square of distance.
n1 = Newton. Sun attracts Moon.
o1 = Newton. Sun attracts Planets inversely as the square of the
distance.
p1 = Newton. Planets attract each other.
q1 = * Newton. Moon and Sun attract parts of the Earth.
r1 = * Newton. Moon and Sun attract the Ocean.
s1 = * Newton. Parts of the Earth attract each other.
t1 = Newton. All parts of the Earth, Sun, Moon. and Planets
attract _each other_ with Forces inversely as the square of the
distance.
u1 = Newton. THE THEORY OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION. (All bodies
