But next week is now. Chapter VI. The really difficult cases are those in which the conception destined to create light and order out of darkness and confusion has to be sought for among the very phenomena which it afterward serves to arrange. Why, according to Dr. Whewell himself, did the ancients fail in discovering the laws of mechanics, that is, of equilibrium and of the communication of motion? Because they had not, or at least had not clearly, the ideas or conceptions of pressure and resistance, momentum, and uniform and accelerating force. And whence could they have obtained these ideas except from the very facts of equilibrium and motion? The tardy development of several of the physical sciences, for example, of optics, electricity, magnetism, and the higher generalizations of chemistry, he ascribes to the fact that mankind had not yet possessed themselves of the Idea of Polarity, that is, the idea of opposite properties in opposite directions. But what was there to suggest such an idea, until, by a separate examination of several of these different branches of knowledge, it was shown that the facts of each of them did present, in some instances at least, the curious phenomenon of opposite properties in opposite directions? The thing was superficially manifest only in two cases, those of the magnet and of electrified bodies; and there the conception was encumbered with the circumstance of material poles, or fixed points in the body itself, in which points this opposition of properties seemed to be inherent. The first comparison and abstraction had led only to this conception of poles; and if any thing corresponding to that conception had existed in the phenomena of chemistry or optics, the difficulty now justly considered so great, would have been extremely small. The obscurity arose from the fact, that the polarities in chemistry and optics were distinct species, though of the same genus, with the polarities in electricity and magnetism; and that in order to assimilate the phenomena to one another, it was necessary to compare a polarity without poles, such for instance as is exemplified in the polarization of light, and the polarity with (apparent) poles, which we see in the magnet; and to recognize that these polarities, while different in many other respects, agree in the one character which is expressed by the phrase, opposite properties in opposite directions. From the result of such a comparison it was that the minds of scientific men formed this new general conception; between which, and the first confused feeling of an analogy between some of the phenomena of light and those of electricity and magnetism, there is a long interval, filled up by the labors and more or less sagacious suggestions of many superior minds. Dr. Sarah Lang is a not unattractive woman in her early fifties, I guess, wearing her gone-to-white hair shoulder length, wearing as well black-rimmed eyeglasses that frame and highlight the effect of her vivid blue eyes. But after what happened in Sicily, I wonder if Annie accepted my mothers threat of arrest only because the FBI had already entered the landscape of her mind. On the phone, Annie told me the hospital had a small mental ward, to which shed been transferred on her second day there, after she refused medication and was put in a strait jacket. That was when Mama found out she’d been hospitalized. Before then, it was all a lark to Annie. The hospital was crowded and so they put her on a wheeled bed in the corridor outside the maternity ward. She could see women coming in bloated with pregnancy and leaving days later with babies in their arms. The women taught her Italian songs. She could walk down the hall and look in at the newborn babies row on row, like pink flowers in a garden, she told me. She felt safe here. Her little ruse had worked. “I neverintended killing myself, she told me on the phone. “That was a trick to get away from the guys who were chasing me. Iknew if I threatened suicide, they’d send me to a hospital. She did not tell me why they thought she’d needed medication — which, of course, she’d refused — or why, if she was so calm and serene and singing Italian songs and looking in at little pink-faced Italian babies, they’d felt compelled to move her to the mental ward, in a strait jacket, no less. But the situation must have suddenly stopped looking likeThe Wizard of Oz along about then, must have seemed threatening enough, in fact (“One of the orderlies began fondling me while I was tied to the bed), for her to have requested a telephone call to the American Consulate in Naples. If a goddamn psychiatrist flatly states... She does not try to move away. Rob held his left hand on the collar, his right hand over the animals shoulder. He looked up to Dr. Dixon and Harvey Richmond and said, Now please don’t make any exclamations of surprise, or act as though there’s anything out of order, just carry on, please, with an ordinary conversation. Rob knew from the expressions on their faces, from what he had already seen of their methods, that he could expect no mercy. These men were clearing out. They had played the game to the end of the string and now within a few hours they would be scattering to the four winds, hunting places of concealment, before the State Police and the Federal Narcotics Division could broadcast accurate information. Oh, come on, we can always find space. I said:Its all over now. You stay here until the boys let you go and then go home. I’ll see you tomorrow, for sure. § 2. When the laws of the causes have been ascertained, and the first stage of the great logical operation now under discussion satisfactorily accomplished, the second part follows; that of determining from the laws of the causes what effect any given combination of those causes will produce. Thisis a process of calculation, in the wider sense of the term; and very often involves processes of calculation in the narrowest sense. It is a ratiocination; and when our knowledge of the causes is so perfect as to extend to the exact numerical laws which they observe in producing their effects, theratiocination may reckon among its premises the theorems of the science of number, in the whole immense extent of that science. Notonly are the most advanced truths of mathematics often required to enable us to compute an effect, the numerical law of which we already know; but, even by the aid ofthose most advanced truths, we can go but a little way. In so simple a case as the common problem of three bodies gravitating toward one another, with a force directly as their mass and inversely as the square of the distance, all the resources of the calculus have not hitherto sufficed to obtain any general solution, but an approximate one. In a case a little more complex, but still one of the simplest which arise in practice, that of the motion of a projectile, the causes which affect the velocity and range (for example) of a cannon-ball may be all known and estimated: the force of the gunpowder, the angle of elevation, the density of the air, the strength and direction of the wind; but it is one of the most difficult of mathematical problems to combine all these, so as to determine the effect resulting from their collective action. 282 Oh yeah, sure, an empty suit of armour reaches up, pulls a boars head off the wall and throws it at me.
