Project Gutenberg 2008-02-06 Public domain in the USA. 512 Tyndall, John 1820 1893 Tyndal, John Fragments of Science: A Series of Detached Essays, Addresses, and Reviews. V. 1-2 Produced by Jon Richfield "Fragments of Science: A Series of Detached Essays, Addresses, and Reviews" by John Tyndall is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work consists of a collection of essays and addresses focusing primarily on the laws and phenomena of matter, exploring the fundamental principles of physics and the natural sciences. Tyndall addresses various topics, from the structure of the universe and the nature of light to the implications of dark matter and thermal dynamics. The opening of the publication presents a thorough preface that sets the tone for both volumes, clearly delineating the chapters dedicated to inorganic nature and the intertwining of matter with questions of mind in subsequent essays. Tyndall discusses the concept of an aether permeating space, which he postulates as crucial for the transmission of light, heat, and other forms of energy. The initial chapters introduce key themes in physics, addressing the nature and behavior of radiation, the relationship between matter and energy, and the foundational concepts of scientific inquiry and experimentation. This scientific approach seeks not only to educate readers about physical laws but also to inspire a sense of wonderment about the natural world and its complexities.
