Isaac Newton solids

I don t know. I wish I did. I can only tell you what other people have said. Sir Isaac Newton, for instance, believes that light communicates heat to bodies by the vibrations of a medium he calls ether, hundreds of times more elastic than air so that it can penetrate even solid bodies. Robert Boyle, on the other hand, thought that fire is due to fiery corpuscles that exist in the air. And then the latest theory from the Continent is phlogiston. ... 

In the second heat transfer mechanism, convection, molecular scale transfers of kinetic energy are augmented by the macroscopic movement of a fluid transfer medium. Convection is most important as the mechanism of transfer between the solid surface of a static bed or an individual suspended particle and the gaseous medium that surrounds it. Convection has been modeled classically using the following relationship generally attributed to Isaac Newton ... 

What you choose to call this unifying "Something" is of no consequence. The Ancients sometimes spoke of the "Ether," possibly as an addition to the usual four elements, and Sir Isaac Newton adopted this term for the connecting medium. The optical medium connects the particles together in a solid or a liquid, and the same medium connects the heavenly bodies together into systems and clusters and constellations and nebulae and Milky Way. 

Gradually the debate shifted to the question of what kind of atom was necessary and possible. Isaac Newton imagined something like a miniature billiard ball to serve the purposes of his mechanical universe of masses in motion It seems probable to me, he wrote in 1704, that God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties, and in such proportion to space, as most conduced to the end to which he formed... 

Convection, also known as Newtonian cooling (after Sir Isaac Newton), is a mechanism of heat transfer that occurs only in fluids. It involves the transfer of thermal energy by the mixing of fluids. The amount of convective heat transfer is a function of surface area in contact with the fluid, the temperature difference between the solid and the fluid, and the properties of the fluid. There are two types of convective heat flow — natural (or free) and forced. 

The theory proposed by Democritus—that the atom is indestructible—dominated science for centuries until Albert Einstein published his equation in 1905> suggesting mass could be converted into energy. Until then the world s most prominent scientists all insisted the atom could not be broken apart. All things considered, Isaac Newton wrote in 1704, it seems probable to me that God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, moveable particles [and] these primitive particles, being solids, are incomparably harder than any porous bodies compounded of them even so very hard, as never to wear or break into pieces. ...
